NATS 1610 Lecture Notes - Nucleic Acid Sequence, Central Dogma Of Molecular Biology, Cell Nucleus
Document Summary
Nucleotides- biological importance building blocks for nucleic acids coenzymes, enzyme helpers chemical messengers, carry messages within and between cells: energy with the cell, atp, energy source for chemical reactions. Flow of genetic information, the central dogma from dna to rna to protein. A nucleic acid molecule is a polymer of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleic acid: storage, expression, and transmission of genetic information, form polynucleotides strands (nucleic acids, nucleotide sequence is unique to each type of nucleic acid, sugar phosphate backbone. 3 main kinds (messenger mrna, transfer trna, ribosomal rrna: always a purine binding with a pyrimidine.
