A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Structure of nucleotides and nucleosides

The topic focuses on the chemical structure of nucleosides and nucleotides, the parts that make them up, and the exact bonds that join those parts together. For exam success, you must clearly distinguish base, sugar, nucleoside, and nucleotide, and understand how structural differences in bases and sugars affect naming, function, and later formation of nucleic acids.
