Adenine Base

A nitrogenous base, one of the four constituent bases of DNA and RNA, paired with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.

Phosphate Groups

Functional groups consisting of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms, critical components in the energy transfer within cells and in the structure of nucleic acids.

Ribose Sugar

A five-carbon sugar that is a fundamental component of RNA (ribonucleic acid).
