The structural formula for the nucleotide
Concept Introduction:
The Nucleotide is the component of Nucleic acid which is a component of DNA and RNA. The Nucleotide consists of three components-Nitrogenous base (heterogeneous aromatic amine base), five membered sugar molecule and phosphate group. The Nitrogenous bases are Purines (Adenine, Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Uracil, Cytosine, Thymine). The five membered sugar molecule may be D-Ribose or 2-Deoxy-D-Ribose sugar. The Phosphate base is linked to sugar molecule at
Nucleotide = Nitrogenous base + Sugar molecule + Phosphate ion
