Asam Nukleat • Polimer cincin ribofuranosida yang dihubungkan oleh gugus ester fofat. • Setiap ribosa terikat pada basa. • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Chapter 23 => 2 Ribonucleosides A -D-ribofuranoside bonded to a heterocyclic base at the anomeric carbon. => Chapter 23 3 Ribonucleotides Add phosphate at 5’ carbon. Chapter 23 4 Structure of RNA => Chapter 23 5 Structure of DNA • -D-2-deoxyribofuranose is the sugar. • Heterocyclic bases are cytosine, thymine (instead of uracil), adenine, and guanine. • Linked by phosphate ester groups to form the primary structure. => Chapter 23 6 Base Pairings => Chapter 23 7 Double Helix of DNA • Two complementary polynucleotide chains are coiled into a helix. • Described by Watson and Crick, 1953. => Chapter 23 8 DNA Replication => Chapter 23 9 Additional Nucleotides • Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), a regulatory hormone. • Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), a coenzyme. • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy source. => Chapter 23 10 End of Chapter 23 Chapter 23 11
