单词 | desoxyribose nucleic acid |
释义 | > as lemmasdesoxyribose nucleic acid A generic term for any of the nucleic acids which yield deoxyribose on hydrolysis, which are generally found in and confined to the chromosomes of higher organisms, and which store genetic information. Also called deoxyribose nucleic acid, desoxyribose nucleic acid. Abbrev. D.N.A., DNA.

A. Levene & L. W. Bass Nucleic Acids ix. 294 (heading) Desoxyribonucleic acids. 1938 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 1722 Secondly there are deoxyribonucleic acids, in which the sugar component is d-2-deoxyribose and of which ‘thymus nucleic acid’ is the classical example. 1944 Jrnl. Biol. Chem. 156 691 The key rôle of the desoxyribose type of these substances in the reproduction of inheritable characteristics has been emphasized by the identification of desoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) as a major component of chromosomal nucleoprotein. 1947 Thorpe's Dict. Appl. Chem. (ed. 4) VIII. 622/1 Deoxyribonucleic acid has been identified in only a few viruses, for example those of psittacosis,..vaccinia,..influenza [etc.]. 1951 Lancet 16 June 1287/1 In normal animal and plant cells deoxyribonucleic acid (D.N.A.) is located entirely within the nucleus. 1953 Sci. News 29 109 The structure proposed for the salts of deoxyribose nucleic acid consists of two chains coiled in the same direction about the same axis. 1955 New Biol. 19 9 DNA molecules are chains which can be broken down into nucleotides. Each nucleotide molecule can be broken down by hydrolysis into a molecule of phosphoric acid, one of desoxyribose (a five carbon sugar) and one of a purine (adenine or guanine) or of a pyrimidine (thymine, cytosine or 5-methyl cytosine, but in some phages thymine or 5-hydroxy-methyl-cytosine). 1955 Sci. Amer. Oct. 70/3 The chromosomes are made largely of DNA (desoxyribonucleic acid). DNA can exist in a great multitude of forms, all built of the same building blocks but with the units arranged in different sequences. The hereditary information carried by a DNA molecule is contained in the order of arrangement of these units. 1962 A. Huxley Let. 26 Dec. (1969) 945 He talked such nonsense..about true intelligence residing only in the DNA molecule. 1964 Listener 19 Mar 493/2 The spiral of deoxyribonucleic acid. 1970 Nature 5 Sept. 998/2 Demolition of the hallowed idea of the molecular biologist that RNA cannot synthesize DNA has prompted a reinvestigation of other ideas. < as lemmas |
