DNA, desoxyribonucleic acid; desoxyribonucleic acid
Macromolecule carrying genetic information, formed by the concatenation of nucleotides, themselves made up of a nucleic base (adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine), a phosphate group and a sugar (deoxyribose).
RNA, ribonucleic acid; ribonucleic acid
Macromolecule similar to DNA where the sugar is a ribose.
CCD, dynamic combinatorial chemistry
Dynamic combinatorial chemistry is an extension of combinatorial chemistry, in which the various elements of a mixture in solution combine reversibly via covalent or non-covalent bonds. The constitution of reaction mixtures, i.e. the proportion of each possible combination, is imposed by the equilibria involved and by the operating conditions. This is referred to as a dynamic...
