Nucleotides Whereas all subunits are nucleotides there are 4 different nucleotide bases that give us 4 different nucleotides for DNA. ADENINE GUANINE THYMINE CYTOSINE The Shape of DNA The blue ribbon area is known as the BACKBONE Nucleotides are connected along the BACKBONE. These are always constructed the same. Phosphate?Ribose?Phosphate?Ribose?Phosphate… P R P R P R P R DNA Backbone Phosphate Deoxyribose Phosphate DNA is made of 2 different strands. Each backbone are equidistant but going in opposite directions. The two strands are antiparallel. The Shape of DNA The term “anti-parallel
