All living beings are reliant on three main molecules for essentially all of their biological functions. These molecules are [[DNA, RNA and Proteins]]. The two strands of [[DNA]] run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore adjacent to each other (anti-parallel). It is the sequence of these four nitrogen bases along the backbone that encodes biological information. Under the genetic code, RNA strands are translated to specify the sequence of amino acids within proteins. These RNA strands are initially created using DNA strands as a template in a process called transcription. Without [[DNA, RNA and Proteins]], no biological life would exist on earth. | All living beings are reliant on three main molecules for essentially all of their biological functions.

[[Chemicals]] are substances made of one or more elements bonded together, which generally indicates the chemical interaction that happens between the substances. A chemical substance is a form of matter having constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. However, when discussing the fundamental process of [[DNA]], we are primarily concerned with the [[Proteins]] which are the [[Chemicals of Life]].<ref>[https://energeticsynthesis.com/resource-tools/3865-enki-dna-overlays Enki DNA]]</ref> | |||
