write the Structure of nucleic acids
Answers
Nucleic acids, both DNA and RNA, are polymers of nucleotides, formed by joining the 3' - OH group of one nucleotide with 5'-phosphate of another nucleotide Two ends of polynucleotide chain are distinct from eachother. One endhaving free phosphate group of 5' position is called 5' end. The other end is 3' end and has free OH- group at 3' position.The polynucleotide structure of nucleic acids can be represented schematically as in (a and b).
The primary structure of nucleic acids is the sequence of the nucleotides in it. This, in turn, is determined by the identity of the bases in the nucleotides. Different nucleic acids have distinct primary structure. It is the sequence of bases in DNA which carries the genetic information of the organism.The polynucleotide chains of nucleic acids are named by the sequence of the bases, beginning at the 5' end and using the one letter symbols of the bases. For example the name CATG means there are four nucleotides in the segment containing the bases cytosine, adenine, thymine and guanine, in the indicated order from the 5' end.
