DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

New research reveals deoxyribose sugar could reverse hair loss by stimulating blood vessel formation, offering a natural, cost-effective alternative to Rogaine.

Each nucleotide sub-unit consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous nucleotide bases.

DNA molecules consist of nucleotides that are linked to each other in a chain. Each nucleotide has three components: one sugar (deoxyribose), one phosphate, and one […] ...

Each of these bases is connected to 1’-carbon of the deoxyribose sugar. In an unattached and free nucleotide, there is a triphosphate group on the 5’-carbon of the deoxyribose sugar.

The phosphate of one nucleotide attaches to the deoxyribose of the adjacent nucleotide, forming the alternating phosphate-deoxyribose DNA strand backbone—the side of the ladder.

These basic units are linked together to form strands by strong covalent bonds between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next nucleotide.

Biotinylated nucleotides have emerged as a powerful tool in molecular biology, enabling researchers to explore genetic materials with unprecedented precision and sensitivity. These modified ...

This is known as the base-pairing rule. A nucleotide consists of 1 phosphate, 1 sugar and 1 base. Each individual's DNA is unique. Apart from identical twins, no one shares the same sequence of bases.
