If there is only one phosphate group, the nucleotide is known as a nucleotide monophosphate. Two phosphate groups create a nucleotide diphosphate while three phosphate groups create a nucleotide ...

In the latter case, special enzymes, so-called small GTPases, remove a fragment of the phosphate nucleotide “tail”, transforming the guanosine triphosphate into a guanosine diphosphate (GDF).

However, when a nucleotide is incorporated into a DNA strand, it loses two of the phosphate groups and only one phosphate group is added to the DNA strand. This addition involves formation of a ...

A sugar molecule, a base, and a phosphate molecule group together to make up a nucleotide. Nucleotides are abundant in the cell's nucleus. Nucleotides are the units which, when linked sugar to ...

A nucleotide is made up of three parts that are attached by bonds. The three parts are a phosphate group, a 5-carbon sugar, and a nitrogen base. The 5-carbon sugar (known as a pentose) includes ...

“Thiophosphate based nucleotide compounds represent remarkable therapeutic potential, but our understanding of these systems has been hindered an inability to easily control the stereochemistry ...
