-phosphate
-nitrogenous base (ATCG)
DNA HELIX MODEL
Purine + purine=?
pyrimidine+pyrimidine=?
purine+ pyrimidines=?
=to wide
=to narrow
=width consistent with x ray data shown with rosalind’s data
what are the purines and how many rings do they have
adenine and guanine and has 2 rings
what are the pyrimidines and how many rings do they have
thymine and cytosine they have 1 ring
covalent bonds link=
sugar phosphate backbone
phosphodiester linkages
another name for the covalent bond links,3c of sugar bonded to 5’ phosphate
5’end-5’c attatcthed to
