19^th European Organic Chemistry Congress

Bioorganic Chemistry

Chemistry Conferences: Nucleic acids are biopolymers or large biomolecules essential for all renowned forms of life. Nucleic acids that embrace DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Every ester has 3 components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate cluster and a element base. If the sugar is carbohydrate the polymer is polymer. If the sugar is ribose the compound is RNA. Once all 3 elements are combined they type a macromolecule. Nucleotides are called phosphate nucleotides. In organic chemistry, amino acids having each the paraffin and the acid teams attached to the first (alpha-) atom have particular importance known as 2-, alpha-, or α-amino acids (generic formula H2NCHRCOOH in most cases wherever R is an organic substituent referred to as a "side-chain" often the term "amino acid" is used to refer specifically to those. They include the 23 proteinogenic (protein-building) amino acids that mix into peptide chains (polypeptides) to form the building-blocks of a vast array of proteins.
