Physico-Chemical Properties of Nucleic Acids

In this article we will discuss about the physico-chemical properties of nucleic acids. The size of nucleic acids varies immensely. The smallest ribonucleic acids are the tRNAs which comprise about 80 nucleotides; their molecular weight is about 30 000. Ribosomal ribonucleic acids are larger; they contain several thousands of nucleotides and their molecular weight can exceed 1 million. The RNA [...]
