Terms Related to Nucleotides

• Nucleosides

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

• Deoxyribonucleotides

  A purine or pyrimidine base bonded to a DEOXYRIBOSE containing a bond to a phosphate group.

• Ribonucleotides

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

• Physical Mappings (Genetics)

  Mapping of the linear order of genes on a chromosome with units indicating their distances by using methods other than genetic recombination. These methods include ...

• Ribonucleoside Phosphates

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

• Nucleic Acids

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

• Pyrimidine Dimers

  Dimers found in DNA chains damaged by ultraviolet irradiation. They consist of two adjacent pyrimidine nucleotides, usually thymine nucleotides, in which the pyrimidine residues are ...
