Deoxyadenosine vs. Adenosine

Deoxyadenosinenoun

(biochemistry) A deoxyribonucleoside related to adenosine

Deoxyadenosinenoun

a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of adenosine and deoxyribose

Deoxyadenosine

Deoxyadenosine (symbol dA or dAdo) is a deoxyribonucleoside. It is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine, differing from the latter by the replacement of a hydroxyl group (-OH) by hydrogen (-H) at the 2′ position of its ribose sugar moiety.

Adenosinenoun

A nucleoside derived from adenine and ribose, found in striated muscle tissue.

Adenosinenoun

(biochemistry) a nucleoside that is a structural component of nucleic acids; it is present in all living cells in a combined form as a constituent of DNA and RNA and ADP and ATP and AMP

Adenosine

Adenosine is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature in the form of diverse derivatives. The molecule consists of an adenine attached to a ribose via a β-N9-glycosidic bond.
