another nice one ^-^
ReplyDeleteP.S (yet again! XD) mnemonic to easily tell apart purine and pyrimidine from a given structure [only purine from pyrimidine, not cytosine from uracil or adenine from guanine]:-
pyrimidine:- long name, short structure (1 ring)
purine: short name, long structure (2 rings)
Ah thank you again for your contribution! :)
DeleteBtw I updated the vasomotor reversal of Dale for ya! ^__^
I had made some really nice mnemonics on how to remember the structures (I actually drew the purine and pyrimidine structures in my B'chem paper getting an 80+ in my exam, that's how a nerdy I was in my first year xD)
I'll let you know when I upload em <3
A..A..An 80+ in b'chem in first yr! :O
DeleteAngel, i'll pray to u everyday for the rest of my life! *-*
Haha no, it's all because of the mnemonics! :D
DeleteWhere are mnemonics for structures?
DeleteWill upload soon :)
DeleteAlso regarding structures: a yummy pie looks like one ring, You are married with 2 pure as gold rings :)
ReplyDeletepyrimidine: 1 ring structure, purine: 2 ring structure.
That's a nice way to remember as well! :)
Delete"All tigers can grawl"For pairing in DNA
ReplyDeleteAll-Adenine
Tigers -Thymine
Can -Cytosine
Grawl-Guanine
Adenine pairs with -Thymine
-Cytosine with guanine
Nice!
DeleteThe symbol for Gold is Au, Ag is silver (maybe pure as silver then?)
ReplyDeleteOh my! How did I not notice this before? :O
DeleteYup. Pure as silver then!
