Document Summary

Lecture 1: structure of nucleic acids part 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the primary and secondary structures of dna and. Explain how dna can act as a template. Associate specific dna structure to their function in the storage, replication and expression of genetic information. Dna is made up of subunits called nucleotides. Since dna and rna are negatively charged at the body"s normal ph, they have the properties of an acid. The nucleotide is made up of three components: phosphate group, deoxyribose sugar, nucleic acid / nitrogenous base. There are two different shapes that a nitrogenous base can be. Examples of the nitrogenous bases which are pyrimidines are thymine, cytosine and uracil. Of course, the pyrimidine uracil is only found in rna, and the pyrimidine thymine is only found in dna. Thymine, cytosine and uracil differ by one or two functional groups. Examples of nitrogenous bases which are purines are guanine and adenine.
