A nucleoside is an organic molecule that is made up of a nitrogenous base and a sugar molecule. The sugar within a nucleoside can be either ribose or deoxyribose, which is attached by glycoside bonds to the nitrogen-containing base. It can be thought of as a nucleotide that has no phosphate group. Nucleosides are important parts of DNA and RNA and play a crucial role in the storage and transmission of genetic information. Nitrogenous bases in nucleosides can be one of a few types, including adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U). A particular composition of nitrogen-containing bases and sugar molecules determines the type of nucleoside. Nucleosides play an essential role in cellular functions. They are engaged in DNA copying, transcription, and translation, which are vital for the storing and expression of genetic information. Nucleosides also have other functions in cell signaling and metabolism.
