ribonucleoside
noun as in strong fondness
Word Combinations
Example:In RNA, adenosine pairs with cytosine.
Definition:A ribonucleoside formed by the combination of adenine and a ribose sugar; it is a component of RNA.
Example:Guanosine can be found in the form of both RNA and DNA.
Definition:A ribonucleoside formed by the combination of guanine and a ribose sugar; it is a component of RNA.
Example:During RNA transcription, cytidine is synthesized into cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) dinucleotides.
Definition:A ribonucleoside formed by the combination of cytosine and a ribose sugar; it is a component of RNA.
Example:Uridine is an important substrate in nucleic acid synthesis and repair.
Definition:A ribonucleoside formed by the combination of uracil and a ribose sugar; it is a component of RNA.
Example:In DNA, thymidine is one of the four bases, the other three being adenine, cytosine, and guanine.
Definition:[Not ribonucleoside, but similar: It is a deoxyribonucleoside that pairs with adenine in DNA; it is a component of DNA and not RNA.]
Example:Purine ribonucleosides play a crucial role in RNA structure and function.
Definition:A ribonucleoside containing a purine base (adenine or guanine); important in RNA.
Example:Pyrimidine ribonucleosides are essential components for the synthesis of RNA.
Definition:A ribonucleoside containing a pyrimidine base (cytosine or uracil); important in RNA.
Example:Ribonucleoside triphosphates are key substrates in RNA polymerase reactions.
Definition:A ribonucleoside with three phosphoryl groups; these are directly usable by the cell for nucleotide synthesis and RNA transcription.
Example:Ribonucleoside diphosphates can be used in the synthesis of RNA strands after prior conversion to triphosphates.
Definition:A ribonucleoside with two phosphoryl groups; less directly usable than triphosphates but still important in RNA synthesis.
Example:Ribonucleoside monophosphates serve as precursors in various biochemical pathways.
Definition:A ribonucleoside with one phosphoryl group; the most basic form of the ribonucleoside, often used in metabolic pathways or as a substrate.
