CH8 Flashcards
do not contain a phosphate group
Nucleoside
are the product when a base bonds at C-1’ of ribose or deoxyribose
Nucleoside
are found in RNA and DNA
Nucleosides and Nucleotides
contain a base and a monosaccharide
Nucleosides and Nucleotides
May contain either a purine or pyrimidine
Nucleosides and Nucleotides
Contain a base, monosaccharide, and a phosphate group
Nucleotides
Are the monomers of nucleic acids
Nucleotides
Exemplified by deoxyguanosine 5’-monophosphate
Nucleutides
a single molecule that can be over 10,000,000 nucleotides long
DNA
makes up the genome for prokaryotic organisms
DNA
usually double stranded
DNA
includes deoxyribose sugar
DNA
usually single stranded
RNA
can be translated into a protein
RNA
includes the base uracil
RNA
a single molecule that can form a complex secondary structure
RNA
favored form of dehydrated DNA
A-DNA
widest helix diameter
A-DNA
most stable under physiological conditions
B-DNA
23.7 helix diameter
B-DNA
The C-2’ of deoxyribose is out of plane of the other ring atoms in the direction of O-5’
B-DNA
left handed
Z-DNA
narrowest helix diameter
Z-DNA
G pairs with C, A pairs with T
