Orientation (geometry)

Upstream and downstream (DNA)

In molecular biology and genetics, upstream and downstream both refer to relative positions of genetic code in DNA or RNA. Each strand of DNA or RNA has a 5' end and a 3' end, so named for the carbon position on the deoxyribose (or ribose) ring. By convention, upstream and downstream relate to the 5' to 3' direction respectively in which RNA transcription takes place. Upstream is toward the 5' end of the RNA molecule and downstream is toward the 3' end. When considering double-stranded DNA, upstream is toward the 5' end of the coding strand for the gene in question and downstream is toward the 3' end. Due to the anti-parallel nature of DNA, this means the 3' end of the template strand is upstream of the gene and the 5' end is downstream. Some genes on the same DNA molecule may be transcribed in opposite directions. This means the upstream and downstream areas of the molecule may change depending on which gene is used as the reference. (Wikipedia).

Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA

We've been hearing about DNA since the third grade, and we all know that it's a double helix with little ladder rungs. But now we are ready to understand this molecule on a more fundamental level, which will enable to us to understand how this molecule can serve as the genetic code. Let's

What is DNA Structure? How to Make a Double Helix with a 3D Pen | Biology | Biochemistry

DNA is a double-helix - it looks like a twisted ladder. Its backbone is made of sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups, and the rungs of the ladder are made from 4 nitrogenous bases: Guanine, Adenine, Thymine, and Cytosine. The order of the “rungs,” or bases, is what determines what t
