The structure of phosphodiester linkage.
Introduction:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule which is composed of two chains. These chains coil and form a double helical structure. The main role of DNA is the storage of genetic information for a long time. It is the genetic material of all life forms along with few viruses.
