Draw the structure of the chemical linkage that connects nucleotides in a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) polymer
- Nucleic acids are polynucleotides
- Nucleotides are phosphate esters of nucleosides
- nitrogenous and sugar base join to form nucleoside, which are linked by N-glycosidic bond.
- polypeptides are formed by condensation of two or more nucleotides, in which condensation occurs between alcohol at 5’ phosphate of one nucleotide and 3’ hydroxyl of second with the elimination of water, a phosphodiester bond.
