Scientists still needed to figure out this molecule's structure to be sure ... This had helped her deduce that the phosphate part of the molecule was on the outside. Watson returned to Cambridge ...

Each of these things — along with every other organism on Earth — contains the molecular instructions ... looks much like a ladder with sugar-phosphate side supports and base-pair rungs.

(C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule; phosphatidylcholine is shown as an example. The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange).

(It takes two bases to form a rung -- one for each side of the ladder.) A sugar molecule, a base, and a phosphate molecule group together to make up a nucleotide. Nucleotides are abundant in the ...

The reaction product is adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and the phosphate group either ends up as orthophosphate (HPO 4) or attached to another molecule (e.g. an alcohol ... and then elaborated its 3 ...

It is a polymeric molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous ... and has a single-stranded structure. Comparison of a ...
