Document Summary

Rna expresses dna and has many functions such as: synthesis of proteins, formation of ribosomes, (cid:272)atalysis, (cid:272)arriers of a(cid:373)i(cid:374)o a(cid:272)ids duri(cid:374)g tra(cid:374)slatio(cid:374), ge(cid:374)e regulatio(cid:374) et(cid:272) Sugar of nucleosides are in form and it is attached to a nitrogenous base by a n-glyosidic bond at the anomeric carbon (1") A nucleoside is a sugar attached to a base. A nucleotide is a sugar attached to a base and phosphate(s) Phosphates are attached to the 5" of ribose or deoxyribose, and hydroxyl group is attached to 3", this give dna and rna polarity. Ribonucleotides contain pentose sugar, has an -oh group on c2. Deoxynucleotides contain deoxyribose, has a -h group on c2. Carbons of sugars are numbered using prime, carbons of nitrogenous ring are numbered normally. Thymine is found only in dna, uracil is only found in rna. Cystine is found in both rna and dna. Thymine has a methyl group, uracil lacks it.
