Ribo-This is short for ribose and it is a pentose sugar. Contrast this with the sugar group in DNA which is dexoyribose. Nucleic-Refers to the fact that it originates in the nucleus.
DNA is a double helix formed by base pairs attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone. DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.
Schematic of triple-stranded DNA. A triple-stranded DNA is a structure of DNA in which three oligonucleotides wind around each other and form a triple helix. In this structure, one strand binds to a B-form DNA double helix through Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds.chematic of triple-stranded DNA.
