About These Notes
 This document, DNA and RNA.pdf, explores the structure, composition, and properties of nucleic acids. It covers the basics of nucleotides, nitrogenous bases, sugars, and phosphates, alongside the history of nucleic acid discovery. Detailed explanations of DNA’s double-helical structure, base pairing rules, and different forms (A-DNA, B-DNA, Z-DNA, etc.) are included. The notes also discuss denaturation and renaturation, palindromic sequences, repetitive DNA, and distinctions between single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. Designed for easy learning, it provides both fundamental and advanced insights into DNA and RNA.
