NUCLEIC ACID - lecture-notes.tiu.edu.iq
The nucleic acids are large molecules found in the nuclei of the cells in our bodies that store information and direct activities for cellular growth and reproduction.
Nucleic acids DNA, RNA, and their physico-chemical properties ...
Nucleic acids DNA, RNA, and their physico-chemical properties and why they matter in biology. Professor Kathleen Hall hallkathleen@wustl.edu October 2023. A review of the components of DNA and RNA. The nucleobases: DNA has A, G, T, C. RNA has A, G, U, C. Each base is attached to a sugar. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has deoxyribose.

Nucleic acids are the molecules within a cell that are responsible for these amazing capabilities. The first isolation of nucleic acid we now refer to as DNA was accomplished by Swiss physiologist Johann Friedrich Miescher circa 1870 while studying the nuclei of white blood cells.
12.1 Components of Nucleic Acids - Victor Valley College
Two kinds of nucleic acids are found in cells: RNA (ribonucleic acid) is found mainly in the cytoplasm of living cells. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found primarily in the nucleus of cells. Both RNA and DNA are large polymers containing repeating structural units, or monomers, called nucleotides.
Nucleic Acid Structure
We started off the discussion of nucleic acids with the components that make up these critical biological polymers. The individual nucleotides of DNA and RNA are shown below.

Nucleic acids can be separated by gel electrophoresis. Polymers can be placed in a well in a semisolid gel and an electric field is applied across the gel. Negatively charged Nucleic acids move towards positive end. For polymers of the same shape, smaller polymers travel faster than larger polymers.
The Structure and Function of Nucleic Acids
A study of the structure and function of nucleic acids is needed to be able to understand how information controlling the characteristics of an organism is stored in the form of genes in a cell and how these genes are transmitted to future generations of offspring.
