Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biopolymer composed of nucleotide units containing a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). It stores genetic information in all living organisms and many viruses. DNA’s double-helical structure enables replication and transcription, making it fundamental to biology, genetics, and biotechnology. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a oligonucleotide source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Thymus nucleic acid, Desoxiribon and Eucytol. Its PubChem CID is 44135672.
