Nucleic Acids: RNA & DNA
Nucleic acid molecules consist of polynucleotide strands
DNA has two complementary strands, RNA has one strand
Both DNA & RNA can replicate and store information
Nucleotide sequences code for amino acid sequences ÖDNA genes code for RNA and protein structure
Like proteins, RNA is single stranded and can fold up into complex 3D shapes Ö.RNA catalysts are ribozymes
