The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality ...
In DNA, 2-deoxy-D-ribose molecules link together through phosphate groups to form a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone provides the structural framework for DNA, holding the nitrogenous bases ...
Each ribonucleotide base consists of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Adjacent ribose nucleotide bases are chemically attached to one another in a chain via chemical ...
