DNA bond strength (nucleotides)


Mnemonic for DNA bond strength (nucleotides)

"Crazy Glue":
Strongest bonds are between Cytosine and Guanine, strong like Crazy Glue (3 H-bonds), whereas the A=T only have 2 H-bonds.
· This is relevant to DNA replication, as the weaker A=T will be the site where RNA primer makes the initial break.
