Site of phosphoric acid Carbon 5
bonding to sugar
Composition of bases heterocyclic organic compounds containing N
Purine structure 2 rings fused together
Purine bases Adenine and Guanine
Pyramidine structure single ring
Pyramidine bases Cytosine, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA)
Distinction between Thymine has an extra methyl group (looks like an
thymine and uracil antenna)
RNA sugar D-ribose; carbon 2 has an -OH group
DNA sugar 2-deoxy-D-ribose; Carbon 2 has -H
Nucleoside structure base covalently bonded to ribose or 2-deoxyribose
Site of base + sugar anomeric carbon of sugar and N of base
bonding
primary structure of covalent bonding of phosphate groups and sugar to
nucleic acids form backbone
5' end phosphate group is located at carbon 5 of sugar
3' end hydroxyl group (-OH) is located at carbon 3 of sugar
What dictates primary Order of bases from 5' to 3'
structure of DNA?
Oligonucleotide A chain of 50 or fewer nucleotides
Any stable structure taken up by some or all of the
DNA secondary structure
nucleotides, such as a double helix
DNA tertiary structure massive, more complex folding structures
Discovery of DNA double 1953, Watson & Crick
helix structure
