Nucleic Acids As recently as 1950, many scientists regarded proteins as the funda- mental "stuff'1 of life, controlling reactions, contracting, transmitting genetic information, and reproducing themselves. This view has given way to one which assigns proteins to a more restricted role but emphasizes the importance of the nucleic acids in protein synthesis and genetic transmission of information. The nucleic acids are high polymers, just as are proteins, but are given a separate name because the monomers from which nucleic acids are built are not amino acids. Consisting of different structural units, the nucleic acids differ significantly from proteins in their physicochemical properties, as well as in their biological action. The monomers from which nucleic acids are polymerized are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nucleoside condensed by the.
