Preferred Label : deoxyribonucleic acids;
Detailed label : deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA);
IUPAC acronym : DNA;
IUPAC definition : High molecular weight, linear polymers, composed of nucleotides containing deoxyribose
and linked by phosphodiester bonds; DNA contain the genetic information of organisms.
The double-stranded form consists of a double helix of two complementary chains that
run in opposite directions and are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of
the complementary nucleotides and Hoogsteen (stacking) forces.;
