Absolutely not.
Proteins have an amine-carboxyl backbone with any of 20 possible side groups.
Nucleic acids a sugar-phosphate backbone with only 4 possible side groups, called bases.

How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
What do structural geologists do?
A structural biologist studies the structure and functions of proteins and sometimes nucleic acids.
What are the four main classes of macromolecules?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Nucleic Acids, and Proteins.
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Explain how polar and nonpolar groups are important to the structure and functions of lipids proteins and nucleic acids?
the lipids has the fatty acids and the glyceral in the structure and the proteins has the amino acids in their structure the carbohydrades has the different sugars with different carbon skeletan structure and the nucleic acids have the different nucleotide sequence which makes it easy to identity a molecule
Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins?
phosphorus is present in nucleic acids and not in proteins
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
What are the types of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
Does uv light have the most effect on protein structure?
No. It affects the 3-d structure of proteins AND nucleic acids.
Which of the following contain the genetic code carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins?
nucleic acids
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
What do structural geologists do?
A structural biologist studies the structure and functions of proteins and sometimes nucleic acids.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
