Chapter 13.3, Problem 4R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The dideoxycytidine drug and its interaction with the DNA molecule.
Introduction:
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid and it is known to be a genetic material for all the organisms, expect viruses. Dideoxycytidine is a drug which is widely used to treat the viral infections. This drug interacts with the DNA and inhibits the synthesis of the DNA and hence it stops the growth of the virus.

Why do think nucleotides are also sometimes referred to as “bases” or “nucleotide bases”?
What is the difference between a nucleotide and a nucleoside? Explain by giving an example, using structures.
What kind of bond links a base to some sugar? Is the sugar an alpha or beta anomer? In what position(s) of the sugar does this occur? In what position(s) of the base does this occur?
Instead of the term “Formation of a nucleoside”, what could the name of the reaction be? What functional group is being formed?
Define the primary structure of DNA/RNA. Compare and contrast to the primary structure of proteins.
