Identify the nucleotide sequence G-A-T, which stands for Guanine, Adenine, and Thymine.
Draw the structure of Guanine, which is a purine base, and attach it to the deoxyribose sugar. Connect the 5' phosphate group to the sugar.
Draw the structure of Adenine, another purine base, and attach it to the deoxyribose sugar. Connect the 3' hydroxyl group of the first sugar to the 5' phosphate group of the second sugar.
Draw the structure of Thymine, a pyrimidine base, and attach it to the deoxyribose sugar. Connect the 3' hydroxyl group of the second sugar to the 5' phosphate group of the third sugar.
Label the 5' end at the phosphate group of the first nucleotide and the 3' end at the hydroxyl group of the last nucleotide.
