nukleiinihappujen
Nukleiinihappojen, known in English as nucleic acids, are essential macromolecules for all known forms of life. They are polymers, meaning they are composed of repeating structural units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three parts: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The two most important types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
DNA carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known
RNA plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and gene regulation. Unlike DNA, RNA is usually single-stranded
