The below mentioned article provides a study note on DNA. Nature of DNA: DNA is a very long polymer of purine and pyrimidine mononucleotide monomers bound one to the other by phosphodiester bridges. It exists as a double-stranded molecule in nature. The strands are held together by Vander Waals' forces and the purine and pyrimidine bases of the two strands [...]
