Is an
organic polymer derived from successive nucleotide junctions. This is formed
when two nucleotides make covalent bonds in a linear chain. The phosphate group
of the nucleotide 5’ carbon binds to the 3’ carbon of the sugar of the
subsequent nucleotide. This phosphodiester linkage generates phosphate bridges.
Currently,
the living cells have polynucleotides (DNA and RNA known as information-storage molecules). Such molecules are viewed as essential constituents to the
cells.
