Abstract
NUCLEOPROTEIN consists of nucleic acid linked to a specific protein. The primary constituent of the nucleic acid is the nucleotide, which is made up of a nitrogen-containing base (purine or pyrimidine) linked to a pen tose (ribose or desoxyribose), which, in turn, is joined to inorganic phosphate. The nucleic acid can be visualized as a long chain of nucleotides linked to one another through phosphate bridges. Ribose nucleic acid (RNA) is found largely in the cytoplasm of the cell, but 10 per cent occurs in the nucleus. Desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is found almost exclusively in the nucleus.Nucleic acids are . . .Keywords
