  2. Bicyclic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicyclic_molecule

    In bridged bicyclic compounds, the two rings share three or more atoms, separating the two bridgehead atoms by a bridge containing at least one atom. For example, norbornane, also known as bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, can be viewed as a pair of cyclopentane rings each sharing three of their five carbon atoms. Camphor is a more elaborate example.

  3. Cancerous micronuclei - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancerous_micronuclei

    Another mechanism to micronuclei formation is by a double-strand break in the DNA, creating a separate linear fragment. Furthermore, the breaking of an anaphase bridge could also lead to formation of a micronucleus. The formation of an abnormal nuclear structure called chromosome bridge also predisposes to micronucleation. Bridges arise from ...

  4. Cyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_compound

    Nevertheless, many non-benzene aromatic compounds exist. In living organisms, for example, the most common aromatic rings are the double-ringed bases in RNA and DNA. A functional group or other substituent that is aromatic is called an aryl group. The earliest use of the term “aromatic” was in an article by August Wilhelm Hofmann in 1855.

  5. endo–exo isomerism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endo–exo_isomerism

    The prefix endo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located closest, or "syn", to the longest bridge. The prefix exo is reserved for the isomer with the substituent located farthest, or "anti", to the longest bridge. Here "longest" and "shortest" refer to the number of atoms that comprise the bridge.

  6. Heterocyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_compound

    Structures and names of common heterocyclic compounds Pyridine, a heterocyclic compound. A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1]

  7. Intercalation (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercalation_(biochemistry)

    Left: unchanged DNA strand. Right: DNA strand intercalated at three locations (black areas). In biochemistry, intercalation is the insertion of molecules between the planar bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This process is used as a method for analyzing DNA and it is also the basis of certain kinds of poisoning.

  8. Bicyclononyne - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicyclononyne

    BCN, with free hydroxymethyl group. BCN, also known as bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne, is a copper-free click chemistry probe that enables highly efficient and completely orthogonal bioconjugation to complex macromolecules including peptides, nucleic acids and proteins, including monoclonal antibodies.

  9. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

    In DNA double helix, the two strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. The nucleotides on one strand base pairs with the nucleotide on the other strand. The secondary structure is responsible for the shape that the nucleic acid assumes. The bases in the DNA are classified as purines and pyrimidines. The purines are adenine and guanine ...
