9.8: Phosphate Diesters in DNA and RNA - Chemistry LibreTexts
2022年7月20日 · Phosphate diesters play an absolutely critical role in nature - they are the molecular 'tape' that connect the individual nucleotides in DNA and RNA via a sugar-phosphate backbone.
Phosphodiester bond - Wikipedia
In chemistry, a phosphodiester bond occurs when exactly two of the hydroxyl groups (−OH) in phosphoric acid react with hydroxyl groups on other molecules to form two ester bonds. The "bond" involves this linkage C−O−PO− 2O−C. [1] .
Phosphodiester bond - Definition and Examples - Biology Online
2022年6月16日 · What is a phosphodiester bond? The phosphodiester bonds are formed as the result of the condensation reaction between phosphate groups and hydroxyl groups of two sugar groups. For instance, the group that is being formed by the bonding of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom is called the hydroxyl group. Such groups are written as -OH or -HO.
9.2: Overview of Phosphate Groups - Chemistry LibreTexts
2022年7月20日 · An organic diphosphate has two bridging oxygens (one in the phosphate ester linkage and one in the phosphate anhydride linkage) and five non-bridging oxygens: A single phosphate is linked to two organic groups is called phosphate diester. The backbone of DNA is linked by phosphate diesters.
What is a phosphodiester bond? | IDT - Integrated DNA …
2024年2月20日 · In DNA or RNA, phosphodiester bonds are the bonds between the phosphate group and the sugar molecules. DNA contains nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or an uracil if it’s RNA), a sugar molecule (deoxyribose if DNA or ribose if RNA), and a triphosphate group (Figure 1).

In phosphate esters, diesters, and anhydrides the π bonding is delocalized primarily over the non-bridging bonds, while the bridging bonds have mainly single-bond character. In a phosphate diester, for example, the two non-bridging oxygens share a -1 charge, as illustrated by the two major resonance contributors below.
Phosphodiester Bond - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The phosphodiester bond is a covalent linkage between the phosphate of one nucleotide and the hydroxyl (OH) group attached to the 3′ carbon of the deoxyribose sugar in an adjacent nucleotide, forming what is known as the “sugar-phosphate backbone” of DNA.
Why nature chose phosphate to modify proteins - PMC
Phosphate esters are readily formed under physiological conditions using adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a phosphate anhydride, as a phosphate donor and an enzyme catalyst. Once formed, phosphate esters are chemically stable in aqueous solution at physiological pH, and yet they are easily hydrolysed by an appropriate enzyme catalyst, thus ...
Phosphate Diester and DNA Hydrolysis by a Multivalent, …
2-nm gold nanoclusters coated with Zn (II) complexes bearing auxiliary hydrogen bond donors act as multivalent catalysts capable of promoting the hydrolysis of model phosphate diesters with exceptional activity and inducing DNA double strand cleavage.
