Nucleotides encompass mono-, di-, or tri-phosphorylated nucleosides, with nucleosides composed of a nitrogenous base (purine, pyrimidine, or pyridine) and a ribose or deoxyribose sugar. These entities hold significant relevance in biological and chemical realms, constituting nucleic acids and influencing cellular processes. Nucleotides, categorized as purines and pyrimidines, differ in nucleobase composition and formation pathways. Despite their paramount importance in biology, nucleotide synthesis involves intricate regulation to maintain essential pools for genome integrity. Nature adeptly handles their synthesis and polymerization, yet recreating these processes under mild, prebiotically plausible, and straightforward lab conditions-sans activation remains a challenge. Navigating this complexity promises deeper insights into the origins of life and synthetic biology possibilities.

There are several approaches to synthesizing nucleosides and nucleotides such as chemical synthesis methods, enzymatic synthesis methods, cell factory synthesis methods, and so on. Based on our previous development of a synthesis and analysis platform, CD BioGlyco has built a well-equipment lab and employed skilled researchers that ensure we have the ability to provide high-quality outcomes. Moreover, CD BioGlyco also provides other Custom Sugar-nucleotide Synthesis Services including Custom Oligonucleotide Synthesis Services, Polynucleotide Synthesis Services, and Nucleoside & Nucleotide Modification Services. CD BioGlyco aims to offer excellent custom nucleoside & nucleotide synthesis proposals for our clients.
CD BioGlyco aims to be your best assistant in glycan-related research areas and we have developed a synthesis platform for nucleoside and nucleotide synthesis, please feel free to contact us if you are interested in our services and have any questions.
