• adenosine — (biochemistry) a nucleoside that is a structural component of nucleic acids; it is present in all living cells in a combined form as a constituent of DNA and RNA and ADP and ATP and AMP
• deoxyadenosine — a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of adenosine and deoxyribose
• deoxycytidine, cytidine — a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of cytosine and deoxyribose
• deoxyguanosine, guanosine — a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of guanine and deoxyribose
• deoxythymidine, thymidine — a nucleoside component of DNA; composed of thymine and deoxyribose

• glycoside — a group of compounds derived from monosaccharides
