Terms Related to Ribonucleotides

• Ribonucleosides

  Nucleosides 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.

• Deoxyribonucleotides

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

• 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 ...

• Guanosine

  A purine nucleoside that has guanine linked by its N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is a component of ribonucleic acid and ...

• Inosine
