Nucleotides And Nucleic
Acids
Nucleotides consist of:

A pentose sugar

A phosphate group

A nitrogen containing organic (carbon based) base


DNA and RNA are polynucleotides (polymers) that are made up of
nucleotide monomers.



DNA nucleotides contain:

Penose sugar Phosphate group Bases

Deoxyribose (hydrogen at 2’ position) Present Adenine (A)

Thymine (T)

Cytosine (C)


Guanine (G)




Nucleotides And Nucleic Acids 1

, RNA nucleotides contain:

Phosphate
Penose sugar Bases
group

Adenine (A)

Ribose (has hydroxyl / OH group at 2’ Uracil (U)
position). The presence of the OH group Present
makes RNA more susceptible to hydrolysis. Cytosine (C)

Guanine (G)




There are 2 types of nitrogenous base.

Purines Pyrimidines

Adenine (A) Thymine (T)




Nucleotides And Nucleic Acids 2

, Guanine (G) Cytosine (C)




Purines have a double ring
structure and pyrimidines
have a single ring Uracil (U)
structure.


Between 2 antiparralel DNA
polynucleotide strands there
are hydrogen bonds between
complementary bases.
2 hydrogen bonds are formed
between Adenine (A) and
Thymine (T).
3 hydrogen bonds are formed
between Guanine (G) and
Cytosine (C).
These bases are known as
complementary pairs and are
vital in maintaining the
double helix structure of DNA.
