Etymology: Probably from nucleo- + (glyc)oside. Head templates: {{en-noun}} nucleoside (plural nucleosides)
  1. (biochemistry) an organic molecule in which a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine, is covalently attached to a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA). When the phosphate group is covalently attached to the pentose sugar, it forms a nucleotide. Hyponyms: adenosine, guanosine, cytidine, thymidine, uridine Meronyms: nucleobase Related terms: DNA, nucleobase, nucleotide, RNA Translations (organic molecule): 核苷 (hégān) (Chinese Mandarin), nukleosidi (Finnish), nucleoside [masculine] (Italian), ヌクレオシド (nukureoshido) (Japanese), ខាងស្នូល (khang snol) (Khmer), nukleozyd [masculine] (Polish), nükleozit (Turkish)
