Difference between DNA and RNA | Nucleic Acids

The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between DNA and RNA . Difference # DNA: 1. They are formed by 4 types of monomeric units such as adenylate, guanylate, cytidylate and thymidylate. 2. The sugar moiety is deoxyribose. 3. They are present in nucleus, probably in the chromosomes. 4. They carry "genetic Information" from one genera­tion of cells [...]

Quick Notes on Nucleoproteins |Biochemistry

Nucleoproteins are conjugated proteins contain­ing nucleic acids and basic protein-like protamine's or histones. In nucleoproteins there are salt-like combi­nation between positively charged basic proteins and negatively charged nucleic acids. Cytoplasm also contains ribonucleoprotein which is found particularly in ribosomes. All living cells contain nucleoproteins and some of the simplest systems, such as viruses, consist entirely of nucleoproteins. Protamine's: 1. These [...]
