1Definition of Biopolymers

The Biopolymers are made up of nucleotides that are joined to form a long chain. Every nucleotide comprises a nucleoside with a phosphate bond.

2Explanation for drawing the structure

The free hydroxyl group is present in one end of dinucleotide at 3’ end and phosphate at the 5’ end. In dinucleotide, the combination of A-G, 2’-deoxyadenosine 5’-phosphate with 2’-deoxyguanosine 5’-phosphate using linkage of phosphodiester. The structure can be drawn as,
