Mastering the Structure of Nucleic Acids

The components of a nucleotide are a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

The primary structure of a nucleic acid refers to the sequence of its nucleotide units.

The secondary structure of DNA is the double helix, where two polynucleotide strands wind around each other in an anti-parallel fashion.
