Overview

Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, which are essential components of living cells. They are composed of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. Nucleotides carry genetic information and help to replicate and regulate gene expression in organisms. They also play a role in ensuring the accurate transmission and maintenance of genetic information. Nucleotides are used in DNA and RNA sequencing, drug design, the development of genetic and genomic tests, biotechnological applications, and cancer therapeutics.
