Deficiencies in this vitamin can lead to adrenal stress and high cortisol levels or cortisol depletion as your body attempts to make up for the vitamin deficiency by using this hormone's overdrive mechanism, which is usually reserved for emergencies, illness and other stressful events.
The reason why it is advantageous to have weak hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs and strong covalent bonds between phoshate and deoxyribose groups in a DNA molecâ¦ule is because the strong covalent bonds running along the  ladder  of the DNA molecule ( the phospate and deoxyribose units ) keep the molecule together during its ...
See Fig. 1. The nucleotides within each strand are held together by the phosphodiester bonds between the 5' carbon of one nucleotide and the 3 ' carbon of the adjacent nucleotdie. These strong covalent bonds form the the glue that holds the sugar/phosphate backbone together and thus act to keep each strand together.The two strands of DNA are held together by weak hydrogen bonds (remember, something must hold them together!) between the nitrogenous bases.The interesting (and very important) aspect of the Watson-Crick model is that these hydrogen bonds are base specific.he nucleotides within each strand are held together by the phosphodiester bonds between the 5' carbon of one nucleotide and the 3 ' carbon of the adjacent nucleotdie. These strong covalent bonds form the the glue that holds the sugar/phosphate backbone together and thus act to keep each strand together.
