| Certain glycosylases also have abasic lyase activity, cleaving the phosphodiester bond adjacent to the abasic deoxyribose residue. |
|
| The enzymes catalyzing the initial step are glycosylases, which cleave the glycosidic bond between the base and its deoxyribose. |
|
| Each nucleotide is composed of deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen-containing bases. |
|
| A nucleotide is a combination of a ribose or deoxyribose sugar, a purine or pyrimidine base, and a phosphate group. |
|
| Another difference between DNA and RNA is that RNA contains ribose, rather than deoxyribose. |
|
| The backbone of both strands in the double helix is a chain of linked phosphate and deoxyribose molecules. |
|
| Strand scission in DNA can result from the production of a carbon-based radical following hydrogen atom abstraction from deoxyribose. |
|
| They can be detected by an attack on deoxyribose which originates fragments which, when heated with thiobarbituric acid at low pH, will generate a pink chromogen. |
|
| If you visualize DNA as a ladder, the sides of the ladder are made of the phosphate and deoxyribose molecules, and the rungs are made of two different nitrogen bases. |
|
| Sugars are vital components of life, e.g. the 5-carbon sugars ribose and deoxyribose are part of the skeletons of our information storage molecules, RNA and DNA respectively. |
|
| Other methylations of the bases or of the deoxyribose are sometimes induced by carcinogens. |
|
| It can also be formed by oxidative deoxyribose breakdown or autoxidation of sugars, such as glucose, and it plays a role in the pathophysiology of diabetes and ageing. |
|
| Molecule of life rich in deoxyribose and nitrogen bases. |
|
| A variation on the theme of synthetic DNA entails the synthesis of nucleic acids that carry the natural base pairs of DNA but possess a backbone made with sugars other than deoxyribose. |
|
| Other important examples of tetrahydrofuran ring systems are the sugars ribose and deoxyribose, which are present in furanose form in, respectively, RNA and DNA, the heredity-controlling components of all living organisms. |
