ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE SYI-1.B.2 Structure and function of polymers are derived from the way their monomers are assembled—
- a. In nucleic acids, biological information is encoded in sequences of nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide has structural components: a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), a phosphate, and a nitrogen base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, or uracil). DNA and RNA differ in structure and function.
- a. Nucleic acids have a linear sequence of nucleotides that have ends, defined by the 3’ hydroxyl and 5’ phosphates of the sugar in the nucleotide. During DNA and RNA synthesis, nucleotides are added to the 3’ end of the growing strand, resulting in the formation of a covalent bond between nucleotides.
- b. DNA is structured as an antiparallel double helix, with each strand running in opposite 5’ to 3’ orientation. Adenine nucleotides pair with thymine nucleotides via two hydrogen bonds. Cytosine nucleotides pair with guanine nucleotides by three hydrogen bonds.
- a. Both DNA and RNA have three components—sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base—that form nucleotide units that are connected by covalent bonds to form a linear molecule with 5’ and 3’ ends, with the nitrogenous bases perpendicular to the sugar-phosphate backbone.
- b. The basic structural differences between DNA and RNA include the following: i. DNA contains deoxyribose and RNA contains ribose. ii. RNA contains uracil and DNA contains thymine. iii. DNA is usually double stranded; RNA is usually single stranded. iv. The two DNA strands in double-stranded DNA are antiparallel in directionality.
