Document Summary

Built from individual blocks connected in specific ways. Deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna) 5 carbon sugar, nitrogen base, molecule of phosphate (po4 3-) Nucleotide: base attached to pentose sugar by a glycosidic linkage between c1 of sugar and n of the base n1 (pyrimidine base) or n9 (purine base) Roles: carriers of chemical energy, drive energy required reactions in cell during hydrolysis e. g. atp. Present in double-stranded form, each cellular chromosome contains 2 strands of. Most stable: g h-bonding with c, a h-bonding with t. Molar amounts of g and c are identical. Double helix: 2 complementary chains of dna twisted together, forming a helical. Charged phosphate groups in sugar molecules contain hydroxyl groups on. Bases: aromatic compounds that are more hydrophobic orientated inwards. Can fold back upon themselves form variety of highly folded structures. 2 important functional groups: carboxylic acid (-cooh) and amino group (-nh2)
