Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis by Leila Beyyoudh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Nucleic acids are molecules that store genetic information and are composed of nucleotides. There are two main types of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. Both are polymers composed of nucleotide monomers, which each contain a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. DNA contains the genetic instructions used in gene expression and protein synthesis. It is located in the cell nucleus and uses a process called transcription to create mRNA copies of genes that leave the nucleus. These mRNA molecules then un
