Nucleic Acids DNA and RNA
Hundreds of thousands of proteins exist inside each one of us to help carry out our daily functions. These proteins are produced locally, assembled piece-by-piece to exact specifications
This information, detailing the specific structure of the proteins inside of our bodies, is stored in a set of molecules called nucleic acids.

WATSON-CRICK MODEL Combination of two single strands The Double Helix Sugar-phosphate backbone outside,  bases inside 1953
WATSON-CRICK MODEL Bases form  specific base pairs , held together  by hydrogen bonds Structure compatible with any sequence of bases

The base pairing is the key to understanding how DNA functions ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Watson-Crick base pairs Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds (eg. C-C or C-N) Covalent bonds determine structure, Weak hydrogen bonds -  Stabilize double helix
