Unsourced image removed Image Hoogsteen base pair.png 160px right A Hoogsteen base pair is a variation of base pairing in nucleic acid s such as the A T pair. In this manner, two nucleobase s on each strand can be held together by hydrogen bond s in the major groove. A Hoogsteen base pair applies the N7 position of the purine base as a hydrogen bond acceptor and C6 amino group as a donor , which bind the Watson Crick N3&ndash N4 face of the pyrimidine base. History This term is named for KarstHoogsteen , who, in 1963, first recognized the potential for these unusual pairings quoted from Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry by David Nelson and Michael Cox, 4th edition, published in 2005 by Freeman . Chemical properties Hoogsteen pairs have quite different properties from Base pair Watson Crick base pairs . The angle between the two glycosylic bonds ca. 80 in the A T pair is larger and the C1&prime &ndash C1&prime distance ca. 860 pm or 8.6 is smaller than in the regular geometry. In some cases, called reversed Hoogsteen base pairs, one base is rotated 180 with respect to the other.

Karst fenster is a geomorphic feature formed from the dissolution of carbonate bedrock where a spring emerges then the discharge abruptly disappears into a sinkhole . The word fenster is German for window , as these features are windows into the karst landscape. Karst fenster, also known as a karst window, is an unroofed portion of a cavern, revealing part of a subterranean river Easterbrook . Underground a complex system of caves, known as karst topography evolve from the effects of water erosion on carbonate rocks such as limestone, dolomite or gypsum . A karst fenster is born from a caving in of portions of the roof of subterranean stream, thus making some of the underground stream visible from the surface Ritter . Theories in the creation of karst topography and karst fensters involve vadose water above the water table and deep circulating phreatic water water in the zone of saturation eroding away subsurface rock. Karst fensters may also form because of weathering from above. See also Karst topography References Easterbrook, Don J. Surface Processes and Landforms.

That includes the underground drainage of a much larger area, which means that karst springs often have a very large discharge . Because of their often conical or bowl shape, such water sources are also known in German speaking lands as a Topf pot which is reflected in names such as Aachtopf the source of the Radolfzeller Aach or Blautopf the source of the Blau river Blau river in Blaubeuren . Karst springs are usually the end of a cave system at the place where a river cave reaches the Earth s surface. Thus, it is often possible to enter the caves at karst spring and explore them. In North Africa springs known as ain reach the surface as a result of an artesian basin and are of particular importance in arid climate arid regions. They can produce a flow of water directly or result in evaporitic saline crusts. Known examples are found in the oases of the Tunisian region of Bled el Djerid and in the entire area around the depression geology depression s of Chott el Djerid and Chott el Gharsa . Here, there are water bearing strata, usually of sand or sandstone, that act as aquifer s in their function.
