The structural formula for the nucleotide
Concept Introduction:
The Nucleotide is the component of Nucleic acid which is a component of DNA and RNA. The Nucleotide consists of three components-Nitrogenous base (heterogeneous aromatic amine base), five membered sugar molecule and phosphate group. The Nitrogenous bases are Purines (Adenine, Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Uracil, Cytosine, Thymine). The five membered sugar molecule may be D-Ribose or 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose sugar. The Phosphate base is linked to sugar molecule at
Nucleotide = Nitrogenous base + Sugar molecule + Phosphate ion

- Suppose that 28% of the nucleotides in a DNA molecule are deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate, and that during DNA replication the percentage amounts of available nucleotide bases art 22% A, 22% C, 28% G. and 28% T. Which base would be depleted first in the replication process?arrow_forward(iii)How many different trinucleotide can be formed by combining the nucleotide bases ATG? Each trinucleotide must contain one of each baseHINT;One combination is A-T-G.arrow_forwardThere are two families of nitrogenous bases. The pyrimidines have one six-membered ring carbon and nitrogen atoms while purines are larger with a six-membered ring fused to a five -membered ring. Identify the type of nitrogenous base from monomer nucleotides. How can you tell?arrow_forward
- What is the structure, origin and catalytic role of Nicotinamide nucleotides?arrow_forwardHow many different sugars and how many different heterocyclic bases are available , respectively , for incorporation into a nucleotidearrow_forwardhow would you draw dinucleotide 5'GC3' that would be found in RNA.arrow_forward
- Draw an example of the followings: 1- an amino acid; 2- a small peptide; 3- a DNA nucleotide; 4- an RNA nucleotide.arrow_forwardWhich statement best explains the chemical differencesbetween DNA and RNA? (a) DNA has two different sugarsin its sugar–phosphate backbone, but RNA only has one.(b) Thymine is one of the DNA bases, whereas RNA’s correspondingbase is thymine minus a methyl group. (c) TheRNA sugar–phosphate backbone contains fewer oxygenatoms than DNA’s backbone. (d) DNA forms double helicesbut RNA cannot.arrow_forwarddraw the structuresof the common ribonucleotidearrow_forward
