The two types of nucleic acids, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acids) and RNA (ribonucleic acids), are in the cells of all living things. They pass genetic information from one generation to the next and initiate the manufacture of certain proteins ...

A few years later, Miescher separated nuclein into protein and nucleic acid components. In the 1920's nucleic acids were found to be major components of chromosomes, small gene-carrying bodies in the nuclei of complex cells. ... The unavoidable conclusion is that proteins are of central importance in living cells,

Although committing this to memory is often difficult, the importance is that in double-stranded nucleic acids, ... Another important concept in nucleic acid structure is that DNA and RNA polymerases add nucleotides to the 3' end of the previously incorporated base. Another way to put this is that nucleic acids are...

Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) ... Last week we were discussing the major types of macromolecules, their subunits, and their general importance. We talked about three that appear routinely on the side of the foods you eat. Only one type remains, Nucleic Acids, that is unlikely to appear on the side of your food container.

If this were the case, then the chemical study of nucleic acid alternatives and the discovery of efficient informational base-pairing systems would acquire an altered importance, namely, that it would provide chemical facts in questioning the uniqueness of RNA and, implicitly, of the kind of life that is known.

A site dedicated to Microbiology ... Despite their importance in cellular function, nucleic acid structure is surprisingly simple. RNA and DNA are long polymers of only 4 nucleotides, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine (or uracil for RNA). Figure 1.
