  • Another important concept in nucleic acid structure is that DNA and RNA polymerases add nucleotides to the 3' end of the previously incorporated base.
  • A high affinity interaction between a protein and the guanine tetrad nucleic acid structure is described.
  • A further aspect of nucleic acid structure is the conformation of the sugar phosphate backbone.
  • We will then spend a little time mentioning on how nucleic acid structure is related to function within a cell, and review the concepts of DNA replication, transcription, and translation.
  • A "second generation" model for nucleic acid structure is now emerging.
