Terms Related to Deoxyribonucleotides

• Polydeoxyribonucleotides

  A group of 13 or more deoxyribonucleotides in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose ...

• Oligodeoxyribonucleotides

  A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose ...

• Deoxyribonucleosides

  A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to DEOXYRIBOSE.

• Nucleotides

  The monomeric units from which DNA or RNA polymers are constructed. They consist of a purine or pyrimidine base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate ...

• Nucleosides

  Purine or pyrimidine bases attached to a ribose or deoxyribose. (From King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)

• Nucleic Acids

  High molecular weight polymers containing a mixture of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides chained together by ribose or deoxyribose linkages.

• Ribonucleotides

  Nucleotides in which the purine or pyrimidine base is combined with ribose. (Dorland, 28th ed)
