The convention for a nucleic acid sequence is to list the nucleotides as they happen from the 5' finish to the 3' end of the polymer chain, where 5' and 3' refer to the numbering of carbons across the ribose ring which participate in forming the phosphate diester linkages of the chain. Such a sequence is known as the first construction of the biopolymer. Polysaccharides (sugar polymers) might be linear or branched and are typically joined with glycosidic bonds. The precise placement of the linka...
