Solved: Nucleic Acids (Section)Just as the amino acids in

Chapter , Problem 77E

(choose chapter or problem)

Just as the amino acids in a protein are listed in the order from the amine end to the carboxylic acid end (the primary structure or protein sequence), the bases in nucleic acids are listed in the order \(5^{\prime}\) to \(3^{\prime}\), where the numbers refer to the position of the carbons in the sugars (shown here for deoxyribose):

The base is attached to the sugar at the \(1^{\prime}\) carbon. The \(5^{\prime}\) end of a DNA sequence is a phosphate of an OH group, and the \(3^{\prime}\) end of a DNA sequence is the OH group. What is the DNA sequence for the molecule shown here?
