Molecular Basis of Inheritance (Part-1)

A nucleotide has three components – a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (ribose in case of RNA, and deoxyribose for DNA), and a phosphate group. Nitrogenous bases are of two types – Purines (Adenine and Guanine), and Pyrimidines (Cytosine, Uracil and Thymine). Cytosine is common for both DNA and RNA and Thymine is present in DNA

Two nucleotides are linked through 3′-5′ phosphodiester linkage to form a dinucleotide. More nucleotides can be joined in such a manner to form a polynucleotide chain. A polymer thus formed has at one end a free phosphate moiety at 5′-end of ribose sugar, which is referred to as 5’-end of polynucleotide chain. Similarly, at the other end of the polymer the ribose has a free 3′-OH group which is referred to as 3′ – end of the polynucleotide chain.
