Nucleic acid structure refers to the structure of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA. It is often divided into three different levels: primary structure-the raw sequence of nucleobases of each of the component DNA strands; secondary structure-the set of interactions between bases, i.e., which parts of which strands are bound to each other; and tertiary structure-the locations of the atoms in three-dimensional space, taking into consideration geometrical and steric constraints. This book studies the structure of nucleic acid including genetic code, nucleic acid notation, sequence motif, stem loop, nucleic acid double helix, hydrogen bond, and tetraloop.
