    Nucleotides contain a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), phosphate group, and a purine or pyrimidine base. DNA has a double helical structure where the nucleotides are connected by phosphodiester bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar of the next nucleotide. The bases on each strand are bound to each other through hydrogen bonds, allowing the two strands to bind together.

    Nucleotide has sugar pentose, phosphate group, purine or pyrimidine

    DNA IS double helix or HELICAL STRUCTUREribose has OH in arbon number 2

    carbon number 2

    While deoxyribose has only H in

    Nucleotide structure

    Sugars

    ´pyrimidine contains two pyridine-like nitrogens in a sic-membered aromatic ring

    Urine has 4 nitrogens in a fused-ring structure. Three are basic like pyridine-ike and one is like that in
    pyrrole

    Sugars have prime or apostrophe on carbons

    Purine has two ring structures. Purine has two categories. Pyrimidine has two categories also.

    Nitrogenous bases are weak base.

    Phosphate group

    Phosphate group makes nucleotide acidic in nature. Meanwhile nitrogenous bases make it weak basic.

    Glycosidic bond, phosphodiester bond, hydrogen bonding

    260 nm wavelength of nitrogenous base
