Chpt 6: Nucleic acids and protein synthesis
6.1 Structure of nucleic acids and replication of DNA
Subunits of nucleic acid = nucleotides
Nucleotide
Describe the structure of nucleotides
1. Pentose sugar: ribose (RNA) or deoxyribose (DNA)
Chpt 6: Nucleic acids and protein synthesis 1
, 2. Phosphate group
3. Nitrogenous base: Wont have Uracil in DNA, Wont have thymine in RNA; can change
Describe the types of nitrogenous bases
Purines: Made of double ring structure with a 6 and 5 sided ring
Adenine and Guanine
Pyrimidines: a single 6 sided ring structures
Thymine and cytosine
Chpt 6: Nucleic acids and protein synthesis 2
, ATP Molecule
Describe the structure of ATP molecules
3 phosphate groups
1. 1 Phosphate: adenosine monophosphate
2. 2 Phosphate: adenosine diphosphate
3. 3 Phosphate: adenosine triphosphate
Adenosine sugar
