Draw the structure of the RNA dinucleotide 5' U-G 3'
Answer (1)
An RNA dinucleotide of 5' U–G 3' contains:Two ribose sugarsTwo nitrogenous bases:U = Uracil (a pyrimidine)G = Guanine (a purine)Two phosphate groups forming a phosphodiester bond5' to 3' orientation, meaning:Uracil is the first nucleotide (at 5' end)Guanine is the second nucleotide (at 3' end)Each nucleotide has:A ribose sugar (with OH at the 2' position, since it's RNA)A phosphate group attached to the 5' carbonA base (U or G) attached to the 1' carbonA phosphodiester bond connects the 3' OH of the first ribose (U) to the 5' phosphate of the second ribose (G)
