DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

1.1 Describe the structure of DNA‚ including the antiparallel strands‚ 3’-5’ linkages and hydrogen bonding between purines and pyrimidines. DNA is made up of two strands. At one end of each strand there is a phosphate group attached to the carbon atom number 5 of the deoxyribose (this indicates the 5’ terminal) and at the other end of each strand is a hydroxyl group attached to the carbon atom number 3 of the deoxyribose (this indicates the 3’ terminal). The strands run in opposite directions and

Understanding DNA Have you ever wondered how you got red hair or blue eyes? Well all that has to do with your genes. To have different genes you have to have a deoxyriboncleic acid or DNA for short. Without Dna everyone would and everything would look the same and that would make life really confusing. Your DNA has a very important role in life. Its most important role is to give everyone character. Every Dna chromosome is made the same according to species. They are made up of two strands of Nucleotides
