Here are six components of DNA sequencing. Immediately we see the first:
1. Deoxyribose
2-deoxyribose or deoxy is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula H- (C = O) - (CH2) - (CHOH) 3-H. This sugar has five carbons and is a ribose sugar that loses one oxygen atom. Deoxyribose binds to phosphate groups and nitrogenous bases (cytosine, thymine, adenine, or guanine).
2. Phosphate Cluster
Phosphate is a non-organic element with a molecular formula of PO43-. This element acts as a buffering agent.
3. Cytosine
Cytosine (cytosine) is one of four nitrogenous bases. In the gene, cytosine is denoted by the letter C. In DNA, cytosine binds to guanine and forms three hydrogen bonds (in the form of dotted lines).
4. Thymine
Thymine is one of four nitrogenous bases. Thymine is also called 5-methyluracil. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil. In DNA, thymine binds with adenine to form two hydrogen bonds. In genes, thymine is denoted by the letter T.
5. Adenine
Adenine (adenine) is one of four nitrogenous bases. In addition to being one of the components of DNA, adenine is also part of energy-rich ATP (adenosine triphosphate). In genes, adenine is denoted by the letter A.
6. Guanine
Guanine (guanine) is one of four nitrogenous bases. In DNA, guanine binds to cytosine and sets up three hydrogen bonds. In genes, guanine is denoted by the letter G.
