Deoxy sugars, as we saw in Section 25.7, have an oxygen atom "missing." That is, an —OH group is replaced by an -H. The most common deoxy sugar is 2-deoxyribose, a monosaccharide found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Note that 2-deoxyribose exists in water solution as a complex equilibrium mixture of both furanose and pyranose forms. [Pg.1002]

The nucleic acids DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are biological polymers that act as chemical carriers of an organism s genetic information. Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of nucleic acids yields nucleotides, the monomer units from which RNA and DNA are constructed. Further enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the nucleotides yields nucleosides plus phosphate. Nucleosides, in turn, consist of a purine or pyrimidine base linked to Cl of an aldopentose sugar—ribose in RNA and 2-deoxyribose in DNA. The nucleotides are joined by phosphate links between the 5 phosphate of one nucleotide and the 3 hydroxyl on the sugar of another nucleotide. [Pg.1119]

DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, dosage - cumulative exposure equivalent to the concentration of chemical agent to which an individual is exposed integrated over the time of exposure, dose - quantity of agent having entered the body. [Pg.174]

Along with stomach, bile, and lactic acids, there are many other acids in the human body These include, but are not limited to, nucleic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins such as folic and ascorbic acids. Nucleic acids, including RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), are long chains of phosphates and sugar to which nucleotide bases are attached. The phosphate molecules in the backbone of RNA and DNA are derived from phosphoric acid. Therefore, DNA is very weakly acidic. [Pg.83]

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) A double-stranded molecule held together by weak bonds between base pairs of nucleotides that encodes genetic information. The base sequence of each single strand can be deduced from that of its partner since base pairs form only between the bases A and T and between G and C. [Pg.533]
