Uracil Uridine ---------
B. NAMING NUCLEOTIDES ( Phosphate + Sugar + Base)
*When naming nucleotides, add mono, di, or tri on the blank depending on the number of phosphate attached to the 5 Carbon BASES NUCLEOTIDE NAME
Adenine Adenosine - 5- _____Phosphate
Guanine Guanosine - 5- _____Phosphate
Cytosine Cytidine - 5- _____Phosphate
Thymine Thymidine - 5- _____Phosphate
Uracil Uridine - 5- _____Phosphate
YOU CAN ALSO NAME NUCLEOTIDES AS ACIDS (Pero feeling ko okay na
naman kahit yung sa taas lang memorize natin) NUCLEOTIDE NAMED AS NUCLEOTIDE NAMED BASE AN ACID WITH AS AN ACID WITH DEOXYRIBOSE RIBOSE Deoxyadenylic acid or Adenylic acid or Adenine Deoxyadenylate Adenylate Deoxyguanylic acid or Guanylic acid or Guanine Deoxyguanylate Guanylate Deoxycytidylic acid or Cytidilic acid or Cytosine Deoxycytidylate Cytidylate Deoxythymidylic acid or Thymine --------- Deoxythymidylate Uridylic acid or Uracil --------- Uridylate
C. Additional Notes
1. Sugar = Electrophile due to Carbon
2. Base = Nuclephile due to Oxygen 3. Process that happens when Sugars and Bases attach = Condensation 4. Linkage between Sugar and Base is called Beta-N-Glycosidic Bond which is a covalent bond 5. Watson and Crick = Discovered the structure of DNA 6. Adenine and Cytosine are Tautomers (Isomers) They convert Amino to Imino 7. Guanine and Thymine are Tautomers (Isomers) They convert Keto to Enol
