Absolute location describes the position of a place in a way that never changes, no matter your location. The location is identified by specific coordinates. The most common coordinate system is longitude and latitude, which describes a specific place on the earth's surface.
Nucleic Acids. Nucleotides join together through phosphodiester linkages between the 5' and 3' carbon atoms to form nucleic acids. The 3' -OH of the sugar group forms a bond with one of the negatively charged oxygens of the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon of another sugar.
phosphate backbone. A sugar-phosphate backbone (alternating grey-dark grey) joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
