BIO Base Pairing in DNA, II. Refer to Exercise 21.21. Figure E21.22 shows the bonding of cytosine and guanine. The O—H and H—N distances are each 0.110 nm. In this case, assume that the bonding is due only to the forces along the O—H—O, N—H—N, and O—H—N combinations, and assume also that these three combinations are parallel to each other. Calculate the net force that cytosine exerts on guanine due to the preceding three combinations. Is this force attractive or repulsive?

- Because of their net negative charge, bacteria are easily attracted to and adhere to surfaces on which they can proliferate, forming bacterial biofilms, thin films of bacteria coating the surface. Bacterial biofilms are especially problematic on indwelling medical devices (IMDS), which are devices inserted into a patient and include catheters, heart valves, and artificial joints. Contaminated IMDS are the most common source of infection in humans. A number of mitigation methods are in use today, including antibacterial graphene oxide coatings and the use of electric fields and surface charges to repel bacteria. In a hospital operating room, due to an unexpected complication in the surgical procedure, and in violation of protocol, a catheter that was removed from its sterile pouch before the complication is being used hours after being exposed to the air in the room.
