Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule made up of cytosine and ribose. It is a component of RNA and plays a role in genetic coding and protein synthesis. Cytidine can also be phosphorylated to form cytidine triphosphate (CTP), an important molecule in energy transfer within cells.

What is the difference between cytidine in DNA and cytidine in RNA?
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.

What is white crystalline compound called?
A white crystalline compound is also called cytidine.
What enzymes are responsible for mutation?
An example for this is, cytidine deaminases (AID and APOBEC proteins), they can convert C in to U, there by make G--A mutation in double stranded DNA.
What are the characteristics of nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are very long polymers that are composed of phosphate-sugar-nitrogenous base units. In double-stranded nucleic acids, adenine forms bonds with either uracil or thymine. Cytidine will only form hydrogen bonds with guanine.
Why are there equal amounts of A and T and C and G in DNA?
There are equal amounts of each base because Guanine binds to cytidine, and Thymidine binds to Adenine. Purines bind to pyrimidines. That is why when you have a certain amount of Guanine nucleotides, then you will certainly have that same amount of Cytidine nucleotides. Same thing goes for A-T base pairs. The only thing that is a little different is the amount of G-C base pairs relative to the A-T percentage. The human Genome is roughly 60% GC rich while the other 40% is AT
What are some eight letter words with 1st letter C and 2nd letter Y and 5th letter D?

What are some eight letter words with 1st letter C and 4th letter I and 5th letter D and 7th letter N?
According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 1 words with the pattern C--ID-N-. That is, eight letter words with 1st letter C and 4th letter I and 5th letter D and 7th letter N. In alphabetical order, they are: cytidine
What is activated glucose?
The prefix "activated" usually means condensation of a sugar molecule like glucose with a nucleotide. Examples are uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) for activation of glucose, galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) for mannose or fucose and cytidine-5'-monophophate (CMP) for sialic acid. Activation of sugars helps in biochemical transfer of sugar molecules to certain structure, e. g. N-glycans.
What are some eight letter words with 2nd letter Y and 5th letter D and 6th letter I and 8th letter E?
According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 4 words with the pattern -Y--DI-E. That is, eight letter words with 2nd letter Y and 5th letter D and 6th letter I and 8th letter E. In alphabetical order, they are: cytidine dysodile pyridine xylidine
What are the four chemicals that hold together DNA molecule?
If by "four chemicals" you mean nucleotides, then they are as follows: 1. deoxyadenosine monophosphate or adenine 2. deoxyguanosine monophosphate or guanine 3. deoxycytosine monophosphate or cytidine 4. deoxythymine monophosphate or thymidine The chemical bonds holding DNA molecules together are 1. phosphodiester bond in the polynucleotide strand 2. hydrogen bond between the complementary nitrogenous bases on adjacent polynucleotide strands.
What are the nucleotides in RNA?
Adenine Thymine Guanine Cytosine These are also known as A T G and C In a double-helix DNA structure, A bonds with T, and G bonds with C. These bonds are held together by a hydrogen bond or a covalent bond.
