Nucleotides are compounds made up of purine/pyrimidine bases, deoxyribose/ribose, and phosphoric acid. There is one phosphate group that exists in nucleoside monophosphate (NMP). The 5'-nucleotide phosphate group can be further phosphorylated to generate nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) and nucleoside triphosphate (NTP), and the phosphate groups are linked by high-energy bonds.
Nucleotides are the precursors of biological macromolecules DNA, RNA, and participate in the heredity, developmental, and growth activities of organisms as the constituent parts of nucleic acids. In addition, many nucleotides are involved in various important biological functions, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), coenzymes, and others related to energy metabolism. Some nucleotide derivatives can interfere with nucleotide metabolism and have broad application prospects as anticancer drugs.
