Hello,

DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It is present in nucleus of the cell. During his experiments F. Miescher discovered the so called "nuclein" from pus. The understood that it contain hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus atoms.

We all know that it is an acid as it contains phosphoric acid at the 5' end. And the term nucleic acid was put forward by Richard Altmann. So is Deoxyribonucleic acid - nucleic acid with deoxyribose sugar.
