- A few questions about the enol forms of nucleobases.
I've been reading up on how nucleobases have both keto and enol forms, and how their enol forms can lead to point mutations in DNA replication.
1. What would cause a nucleobase to switch between keto and enol forms?
2. What happens to enol forms of nucleobases in the cell, are they used, discarded or do they eventually switch to their keto form?
