GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Ribose has a five member ring composed of four carbon atoms and one oxygen. Hydroxyl groups are attached to three of the carbons. The other carbon and a hydroxyl group are attached to one of the carbon atoms adjacent to the oxygen. In deoxyribose, the carbon furthest from the attached carbon is stripped of the oxygen atom which would be a hydroxyl group in ribose. The sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) molecules in the nucleic acid are all oriented in the same direction. Their carbon atoms are numbered: the 5' carbon atom is always on the side of the sugar molecule that faces the leading end, while the 3' carbon atom always faces the tail end. The nitrogenous base is bonded to the 1' carbon of the deoxyribose. The phosphate groups bind to the 5' carbon of the sugar. The phosphate group bond to the 3' carbon on another nucleotide. Nucleotide is always added to the 3' carbon of the next nucleotide step-by-step; DNA synthesis always undergoes from 5' to 3'. The virus has to take a sequence of actions to do this. Pro-drug nucleoside analog that is activated by phosphorylation is incorporated into the DNA replicating and causes the death of the malignant dividing cell by chain termination.. It is useful in the study of gene therapy in cancer research.
