Nucleic Acids References
Nucleic Acids include two type of molecules: DNA and RNA.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is a polymer of nucleotides (see refs below) containing 
the sugar deoxyribose, phosphates and the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), thymine (T),
guanine (G) and cytosine (C) arranged in a double helix.
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) is a polymer of nucleotides (see refs below) containing the sugar ribose, 
phosphates and the nitrogenous bases adenine (A), uracil (U),
guanine (G) and cytosine (C). 
There are several forms such as messenger RNA,
ribosomal RNA and transfer RNA.
