DNA deoxyribonucleic genetic information encoding the primary
acid : stores sequence of proteins
Ribonucleic acid has several functions in
making proteins from info
-




RNA : in DNA

nucleotides built from a base : Monosaccharide (sugar) :
phosphoric acid
nucleoside base purine
:
or pyrimidine covalently bonded to either ribose or
2-deoxyribose
nucleic acid nucleotides polymerize into chains , forming either DNA or RNA molecules

form
primary structures from covalent bonding of nucleotide monomers to make the backbone

Oligonucleotide & chain of 50 or fewer nucleotides

Secondary structure nucleic acids is any stable structure taken up by some or all nucleotides

tertiary structure complex folding
DNA helix chains
double 2 polynucleotide run in opposite directions held in place by hydrogen bonds

B-form

forms of DNA
A form
2- form

gene Protein Sequence is stored in DNA ; a chromosomal Segment of DNA that has

specific base sequence


codon each amino dcid of a protein is encoded by a sequence of 3 adjacent nucleotides (AGT)

, Module 6 1 . : Structures of Nucleotides
·

most common nucleic acids are DNA:RNA
-
DNA : RNA constructed from monomeric structures = nucleotides
-

transmit genetic into that determines amino acid Sequence of proteins (primary structure
·
nucleotides function :

-serve as energy and communication in the cell



DNA : Stores genetic info encoding primary sequence of proteins




RNA : has several functions in protein from info in DNA
making
exists in several places
-



of cell ,
including nucleus

-3 main types of RNA cells




nucleic acids serve as :

① cofactor in enzymes
-


FAD
② second messenger
-




cyclic AMP : Communication tool
DNA : RNA are both polymers : Macromolecules

-bulit from set of monomers =
nucleotides
nucleotides : base are monosaccharides and phosphoric acid
↳ bases
are cyclic organic compounds containing nitrogen
