Molecular Biology Essentials: DNA Structure, Replication, and Protein Synthesis

1. DNA Structure

      • Double Helix: Twisted-ladder shape.

      • Nucleotide: Sugar (deoxyribose) + Phosphate + Nitrogenous base.

      • Bases: Purines (Adenine [A], Guanine [G]); Pyrimidines (Cytosine [C], Thymine [T]).

      • Pairing: A pairs with T (2 Hydrogen bonds), C pairs with G (3 Hydrogen bonds).

      • Chargaff’s Rule: A = T, and C = G.

      • Antiparallel Strands: Run in opposite directions (5’→3′ and 3’→5′).
