Difference between Ribose and Deoxyribose Deoxyribose Sugar Ribose Sugar
Nucleosides are made of nitrogenous base bind to Ribose sugar.
Nucleosides Nucleosides are glycosamine consisting of a nucleobase (often referred to simply base) bound to a ribose or deoxyribosesugarvia a β-glycosidic bond.
Nucleotides consists of a nucleoside plus one or more phosphate groups.
Common bases found in nucleic acids with corresponding nucleosides and nucleotides
Purine bases (adenine, guanine and hypoxanthine) Nucleosides are then formed by the addition of sugar moieties (deoxyribose or ribose) nucleotides are then formed by the addition of phosphate (mono-, di- and triphosphate)
FUNCTIONS of Nucleotides • Forming a Adenosine 5′-triphosphates ATP is central to energy metabolism, energy stores. • portion of several important coenzymes such as NAD+, NADP+, FAD and co A. • Activated intermediates in numerous biosynthetic reactions, as Sulfate donor (PAPS) in lipids synthesis. Methyl donor (SAM) in glycoprotein synthesis. • Cyclic nucleotides are 2nd messenger and regulators of many cellular metabolism. • GTP drives protein synthesis • CTP drives lipid synthesis • UTP drives carbohydrate metabolism
ATP Adenosine tri-phosphate energy source for many reactions in living organisms.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD+ Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) are two important coenzymes found in cells. It acts as a coenzyme in redox reactions. nicotinamide adenine A group of enzymes used NAD+ to remove acetyl groups from proteins. as a donor of ADP-ribose moieties in ADP-ribosylation reaction precursor of the second messenger molecule cyclic ADP-ribose
SAM PAPS S-adenosylmethionine Phosphoadenosine-phosphosulfate Sulfate donor Methyl donor Adenine-ribose-phosphate-sulfate Adenine-ribose-methionine
UDP Biosynthesis of Glycogen Biosynthesis of glycoprotein Conjugaton with bilirubin and some drugs as Aspirin
CTP Biosynthesis of phosphoglycerides,sphingosine, sphingomyelin. OH
TTP Thymidine tri-phosphate Marker for DNA
They are polymers of nucleotides. NUCLEIC ACIDS They carry genetic informaton or form structures within cells. They are usually either single-stranded or double-stranded. They are built from three components, nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) 5-carbon sugars (Ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) phosphate groups. two types of nucleic acid in living organisms, DNA deoxyribonucleic acid RNA ribonucleic acid.
Forms of Nucleic acids single stranded Two-stranded double helix RNA DNA
FunctionS of RNA • Messenger RNA (mRNA) • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Transfer RNA (tRNA) • Small nuclear RNA (sn RNA)
Structure of DNA • Double helix • The bases occupy the core of helix • Sugar –phosphate run along periphery. • Complementary base pairing ( G binds C) • (A binds T) • The length of DNA is measured by bp and Kb. • The two strand run anti-parallel.
Bases of DNA Cytosine Guanine Thymine Adenine
The structure of DNA is a double-stranded, antiparallel helix
FUNCTIONS of Nucleic acids -Carrying the genetic information for all biological functions of the cell e.g protein synthesis and metabolism.
