The sugar phosphate backbone is a long chain of
sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate-sugar-etc., with the nitrogenous bases
sticking out of the backbone. Two such chains are twisted around each other
to form the famous double helix structure of DNA.
The deoxyribose sugar molecule is a 5-carbon structure. Four of the carbon
atoms and one oxygen atom form a ring. The 5th carbon atom is outside the
ring, like a tail. The carbons are distinguished from each other with a
numbering system
