Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of the deoxyribonucleotide formed by joining the 3-OH group of dTMP with the 5-phosphate of dAMP should be drawn and the 5 and 3-end should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
When two nucleotides join together to form a dinucleotide, 3' OH group of one
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of the ribonucleotide formed by joining the 5-phosphate group of GMP with the 3-OH of CMP should be drawn and the 5 and 3-end should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
When two nucleotides join together to form a dinucleotide, 3' OH group of one nucleotide joins with the 5'- phosphate of second nucleotide via a phosphodiester linkage. A polynucleotide has one free phosphate group at the 5'-end and a free OH group at 3'-end.
