2 mar 2012 · DNA exists in various structural forms and undergoes compaction in the cell, ultimately forming chromatin through association with histone proteins. The primary function of DNA is to serve as the template for its own replication and transcription into RNA to direct protein synthesis.
9 lut 2014 · It describes the key components of DNA including the sugar-phosphate backbone, nitrogenous bases, and how the bases pair up in the double helix structure. It also discusses different DNA structures like A, B and Z-DNA and how DNA packages into nucleosomes and chromosomes.
INTRODUCTION. In this activity, you will build your own model to understand how DNA works. DNA is a simple molecule made up of four types of chemical building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are composed of two different classes of nitrogen-containing bases: the purines and pyrimidines. The most commonly occurring purines in DNA are adenine and guanine: Figure 1.2.1: Purines. The most commonly occurring pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine and thymine: Figure 1.2.2: Pyramidines
28 lis 2015 · The document summarizes the structure of DNA. It describes that DNA is composed of four nucleotides - adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. These nucleotides are linked by phosphodiester bonds to form a double helix structure.
KEY CONCEPTS. DNA is a polymer of nucleotide monomers, each consisting of a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), or cytosine (C). The nucleotides of DNA are arranged into a double helix based on the rules of base complementarity.
7 lis 2019 · Through building and observing this model, students explore the basic structure of phosphodiester bonds, base pairs, the spatial relationships among the components of nucleotides in DNA, and the antiparallel nature of the double helix.
