Nucleic acids were discovered by F Miescher in 1869. Nucleic acids types are two DNA and RNA. DNA stands for Deoxyribonuleic acid. RNA stands for Ribonuleic acid. DNA and RNA are made up of Nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components viz a pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group. Nucleoside is combination of pentose sugar and nitrogenous base. ATP is a nucleotide.
