Especially important in the biological world are the N-glycosides formed between D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose (each as a furanose), and the heterocyclic aromatic amines uracil, cytosine, thymine, adenine and guanine (figure 22.4).

an easy way to remember which nucleic bases are pyrimidines and which ones are purines is that the pyrimidine bases have a Y in them: cytosine, thymine, and yracil

How fucked is it that Class M planets on Star Trek are perfectly safe to be on for the most part (barring extreme heat, cold, etc), and yet our own planet causes cancer if you're exposed to the SUN for too long

October's Cheki for Pen-pal tier patrons ~

Autumn is here & I made a new friend. Also, I learned there's frames & stickers I can decorate the photos with in the Instax link app so, I tried them out! 🎃💀👻

There are, however, three major differences in structure between RNA and DNA:

The pentose unit in RNA is β-D-ribose rather than β-2-deoxy-D-ribose (see figure 25.2).

The pyrimidine bases in RNA are uracil and cytosine rather than thymine and cytosine (see figure 25.1).

RNA is single stranded rather than double stranded.

Actually, that last post reminded me of a really important bit of advice I once received that not enough people know.

For math and the sciences? It doesn't matter what textbook you use. I mean, obviously, if your professor assigns you homework from textbook A, you need to have and read it to do your homework.

But if you're in chemistry, and the way your textbook explains Guy-Lussac's law to you makes no sense? Go to your local library and look for textbook B or C.

Science and math books for a given topic will all contain the same information, just explained in a different way. Every biology book in existence is going to tell you that all living things have nucleic acids made up of the bases cytosine, thymine or uracil, guanine, and adenine. Every chemistry book in existence is going to tell you that the noble gases are nonreactive because their outer electron shells are completely filled. Every physics textbook in existence is going to tell you that entropy arises as a result of the second law of thermodynamics and can never be reduced, only increased. You're going to get this information no matter what book you read- it's just that some will be far better at giving you this explanation in a way you understand than others.

ALSO, outside of textbooks, almost every concept (and especially every part of the math involved) will have tutorials on Youtube (and most likely Khan Academy). These saved my life in my biostatistics classes, and I wish I'd known about them when I was an undergrad, because as much as I excel with the conceptual parts of chemistry and physics, I struggled through the math, and knowing about these would have helped me a lot.

There are so many resources at your disposal- you can do this! Few peiople are going to breeze through it. Don't give up!

ok this is one of the best gimmick blogs on the site but I’m just thinking: will you eventually branch out to finding RNA sequences on here (with uracil instead of thymine) or is DNA just the go-to forever?

there are already some fantastic gimmick blogs such as @proteinwizard and @peptide-peddler who are doing similar things. for this blog i will probably continue as i am, but i encourage you to check out other gimmick blogs too :)
