Document Summary

Nucleic acids: this chapter focuses on some of the biological and chemical aspects of nucleic acids, specifically dna. We will examine its properties, sequencing, and laboratory synthesis: background material that is important includes, alcohols, amines, strengths of acids, substitution and elimination reactions, structure and composition of nucleic acids, nucleobases. Nucleic acids (cid:121) 2: n atoms 1 and 9, in the pyrimidines and purines respectively, are used to form. N-glycosidic linkages: the structures shown are the predominant tautomers, when watson and crick worked on dna structure, their work was hindered because the structures found in old textbooks were of the improper tautomers. Nucleic acids (cid:121) 3: nucleosides, nucleosides are the bases attached to sugars (ribose in rna, 2-deoxyribose in. Oh guanosine triphosphate (gtp: nucleic acids, nucleic acids are phosphate diesters of nucleotides. Dna has two anti-parallel strands in a right-handed helix. 3"-end: this arrangement forms two grooves that are different in size, termed the major groove and the minor groove.
