DNA nucleotides question

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-11-10] [Hit: ]
There is a base pairing rule where Adenine binds with thymine, and cytosine binds with Guanine. So if the base on the template strand is A then on the complimentry strand would be T. Same thing with C and G. So thats how you list the sequence.-The Polymer of a nucleotide differs from each amino acid.......
If given a sequence of nucleotides of a template of DNA, can you list the sequence of nucleotides of the complementary strand?
Thanks!

Yep you can - because a nucleotide is composed of a five carbon sugar, phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The complimentry strand is the same except for the bases. There is a base pairing rule where Adenine binds with thymine, and cytosine binds with Guanine. So if the base on the template strand is A then on the complimentry strand would be T. Same thing with C and G. So thats how you list the sequence.

The Polymer of a nucleotide differs from each amino acid. To get a nucleotide, you need a 5-carbon sugar, a neutrogenous base, and a phosphate. Within DNA you have Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and many other Amino acids.

Yes, I can!. You need to keep to two rules. First complementary base pairing - A is paired with T and vice versa, C with G and vice versa. Second strands are antiparallel, so template strand should run 3'--> 5' and therefore coding strand should be 5'--->3'.

The way I remember is like this. At The Golf Course
Remember Adenine(at) always pairs with Thymine(the) and Guanine(golf) pairs with Cytosine(course)
Hope this helps!
