👉 Link post to my article on Benchling's engineering blog. ☜
I wrote the article during my internship this summer with Benchling's Modified Biologics and Chemistry team. Check it out for a visual and interactive explanation of monomers, nucleotide structures, chemical image renderings, and rotation trigonometry!
![Row of 21 circles representing nucleotides in a modified RNA sequence. Thee circle labeled “U” has a large tooltip underneath with the text “Sugar 2-O-Methylribose”, “Base Uracil”, and “3' Phosphate Phosphate”. The tooltip also contains an image of the chemical structure of the modified nucleotide.](/assets/images/nucleotide-sequence-map.png)
