In this problem, we are looking at the dna structure.
00:06
Now, as known before, dna is made out of different nucleic acid bases, where hydrogen bond would form between them.
00:17
There are four different distinct types of nucleic acid bases, and there would usually be two pairs.
00:25
And one of the pairs would usually be consisted of guanine and cytosine.
00:31
So these hydrogen bonds that are formed between the nucleic acid bases are responsible for the formation of the double -stranded helix, as we see in the dna.
00:42
Usually the structure of a dna would look something like this, where there are hydrogen bonds in the middle.
00:50
So in this problem, we want to arrange the basis of guanine and cytosine to give the maximum number of hydrogen bonds.
00:57
So over here i have drawn the two chemical structures of guanine, whereas when we usually pair it, we refer it as g, and cytosine, where we would often refer it as c when we pair it up.

Now, we know that in hydrogen bonds, it's usually an intermolecular bonding between a hydrogen and some highly electronegative...
