It's phosphate, carbon, carbon, carbon, phosphate, carbon, carbon, carbon, phosphate and it has this structure hanging off the side.

就是磷酸基与戊糖的碳反复连接,如此循环往复,这种结构构成了主链的一边

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

The phosphate group of one nucleotide gets linked to the sugar group of another nucleotide and I'm going to show you that in a few minutes.

一个核苷酸上的磷酸基团,连接在另外一个核苷酸的糖基上,马上我会给你们演示

The phosphate is linked to this carbon on the pentose, and notice that there is a number on this carbon, it's called - it's the 5' carbon.

磷酸基连接在戊糖的一个碳原子上,注意在这个碳上有个数字,它叫做5'碳

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

The 5' carbon has a phosphate off of it and that phosphate is linked to the 3' carbon of the next one and they all have a base hanging off the side.

'碳的磷酸基,连接到下一个戊糖的3'碳部位,它们都有连接在一侧的碱基

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

This represents the upright struts on a ladder that I showed you before, it represents this backbone that's shown by - that's formed by polymerizing the pentose's together through phosphate's always going 5' to 3', 5' to 3'.

线条代表梯子,上下的支柱 之前给你们演示过,代表由多聚戊糖分子,通过磷酸基从5'端向3'端方向,连接起来的主链

If I drew this altogether and this is one particular nucleic acid, now shown in more detail, all of the carbons of the pentose are shown here, the phosphate is shown, and a base is shown.

如果我把这个放在一起,这个核酸分子,让你们看得到更多细节,戊糖的五个碳都在这儿,磷酸基在这儿,碱基在这儿

耶鲁公开课 - 生物医学工程探索课程节选

The reason that 3' is important is that when you polymerize two nucleotides together and a third nucleotide, and a fourth nucleotide, when you polymerize nucleotides together they get polymerized, the phosphate of one gets linked to the 3' carbon of another.

'碳部位重要是因为,当你把两个核苷酸聚合在一起,然后再聚合第三个,第四个的时候,核苷酸在聚合时,磷酸基与另外一个戊糖的3'碳部位连接
