There are four categories of macromolecules: carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. Macromolecules are essentially the "building blocks" of cells. Each of these macromolecules, which are types of polymers, are built by combining a series of smaller molecules k...
Nucleic acids are molecules that contain and store genetic information. The building blocks of nucleic acids are called nucleotides, which are composed of a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base. Answer and Explanation:1 The nucleotides of both ribonucleic acid (R...
- Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). They are essential components that make up the structure of these genetic materials. 2. Composition of Nucleotides: - A nucleotide is composed of three main component...
Nucleotides are the components of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), which contain and transfer genetic information. A nucleotide is formed when a sugar molecule is joined to a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. The main nucleotides of DNA and RNA are adenine, guanine, th...
Any of a group of organic compounds composed of one of several nitrogen bases linked to a sugar and a phosphate group. The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are made up of chains of nucleotides. See Note atDNA. The American Heritage® Student Science Dictionary, Second Edition. Copyright © 2014...

An analytical element (typically DNA chip) composed of a solid carrier and a group of nucleotide derivatives or their analogues fixed to the solid carrier via covalent bonding is favorably produced by a method of bringing in a liquid phase a group of nucleotide derivatives or their analogues ...
The two DNA strands are known as polynucleotides as they are composed of simpler monomeric units called nucleotides.[2][3] Each nucleotide is composed of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases (cytosine [C], guanine [G], adenine [A] or thymine [T]), a sugar called deoxyribose, and ...
The relation of ligand binding to activation gating is still challenging and there is a request for fluorescent probes that enable a breaking down to the single molecule level. This inspired us to prepare fluorophore﹍abeled cyclic nucleotides, which are composed of a bright dye and a nucleotide...
From a chemist’s viewpoint, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are polymers composed of nucleotide units (Fig. 3.1.1). (For standard textbooks on physical aspects of nucleic acid chemistry see [200–202].) The side chains in these...
