Implications for the catalytic mechanism Since both phosphate groups of ADPR are bound to the 5′ position of a ribose, their chemical environments are equivalent. Thus, hydrolysis of ADPR to AMP ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Each ribonucleotide base consists of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Adjacent ribose nucleotide bases are chemically attached to one another in a chain via chemical ...
