Directionality

Explain how directionality influences structure and function of the following polymer:

Nucleic acids - Sugar phospate backbone with a 3' end and 5' end. This is the "backbone" of DNA and RNA

Protein - side chain R group determines structure, and this forms the protein

Carbohydrates - See ‘Really Tiny and Cool Legos ’. Carbohydrates are made up of polysaccharides.
