Description
Deoxyribonucleic acid sodium salt has been used in a study to evaluate the cytotoxicity of enzyme inhibitors and absorption enhancers in Caco-2 cells for oral delivery of salmon calcitonin. Deoxyribonucleic acid sodium salt has also been used in a study to develop a simple method for extracting DNA from Cryptosporidium oocysts. It also acts as a template in the formation of ribonucleic acids, which play a fundamental role in the synthesis of proteins in the cell.
- The purine and pyrimidine bases of the nucleosides are primarily adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine
- The sugar is D-2-deoxyribose
- The nucleosides are linked together by phosphates in diester linkage from the 3'-hydroxyl of one sugar to the 5'-hydroxyl of the next
- The repeating sugar-phosphate linkage forms the backbone of the single polynucleotide strand, which is the primary structure of DNA
- Chemical analysis of DNA from different species show that the purine content is equal to the pyrimidine content; adenine content equal to thymine; guanine equal to cytosine
