Proteins and Nucleic Acids are key biomolecules. Nucleic acids consist of alternating backbones of phosphate groups and ribose sugar, with nitrogen bases branching out from the sugar group. They contain a genetic "blueprint"; a code that cells use to create proteins.
Proteins are built from components called amino acids. Each of 20 amino acids has a unique R-group, which gives each component a unique make up. Amino acids are strung together using peptide bonds in a process called dehydration synthesis. Finally, the polypeptide is strategically folded in order to assume a useful shape.
