A DNA nucleotide is composed of the 5-carbon sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and quanine (G). A molecule of DNA is composed of two strands of nucleotides. The nucleotide strands are oriented such that the sugar and phosphate groups alternate down the outside of the strand, and the nitrogen bases are oriented toward the center of the two strands. In a DNA molecule, the two strands of nucleotides pair according to the base-pairing rule, which states that adenine pairs with thymine (A-T), and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G). The nitrogen bases of the complimentary strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Because of the 3-D structure of the nucleotides, the two DNA strands twist into a double helix, often likened to a twisted ladder.
