Unfortunately, the exact chemical formula for nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA is too long to list on this page. However, nucleic acids can be formulated as phosphoric acid and nucleosides in alternating form.

∙ 11y agoThere are five nucleotide bases: adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, and uracil which replaces thymine in RNA.
Adenine and guanine are purines and their molecular formulas and IUPAC names are:
adenine - C5H5N5
9H-purin-6-amine
guanine - C5H5N5O
2-amino-1H-purin-6(9H)-one
Cytosine, uracil, and thymine are pyrimidines and their molecular formulas and IUPAC names are:
cytosine - C4H5N3O
4-aminopyrimidin-2(1H)-one
uracil - C4H4N2O2
pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione
thymine - C5H6N2O2
5-methylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione

What are the differences between nucleoside n nucleotide?
a nucleoside consist of base and sugar but a nucleotide consist of base sugar and phosphate group
What is the difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide?
Nucleoside contains a sugar group and a base whereas phosphorylation of nucleosides by kinases ( addition of phosphate in the sugar's primary alchohol group) produces nucleotides.nucleoside = sugar +basenucleotide = sugar + base + phosphate
What is the mode of action of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs?
Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs inhibit viral replication by incorporating into the viral genome during replication. These analogs lack the necessary functional groups for further elongation of the viral genome, leading to termination of viral replication and inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This disruption ultimately stops the virus from spreading and replicating.
Where do plants get free nucleotides?
The first step of nucleotide synthesis is the formation of a nucleoside (the nitrogenous base joined to a sugar). The sugar involved in the synthesis and structure of a nucleotide may be either ribose or deoxyribose; in the latter case, the prefix 'deoxy' may be added before the name of the nucleoside in all cases except Uracil. A functional group of phosphate is then esterified to the sugar, creating a nucleotide. The phosphate group may consist of one, two, or three phosphates, forming monophosphates, diphosphates, or triphosphates, respectively.
How many nucleotids are in a double helix?
The number of nucleotides (and base pairs) varies from species to species. However, the number of DIFFERENT nucleotides is 4: - adenine nucleoside phosphate - cytosine nucleoside phosphate - guanine nucleoside phosphate - thymine nucleoside phosphate
A DNA nucleotide does not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
What does a nucleotide not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
What are the differences between nucleoside n nucleotide?
a nucleoside consist of base and sugar but a nucleotide consist of base sugar and phosphate group
The components of a nucleoside are?
The components of a nucleoside are: A pentose sugar(generally ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base which may be Adenine/Guanine/Thymine/Cytosine/Uracil. It becomes a nucleotide on addition of a phosphate group.
What nucleotide is present in RNA but not in DNA?
deoxythymidinetriphosphate (dTTP) is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding base is thymine (T). RNA contains the nucleotide uridinetriphosphate (UTP) instead. In their incorporated forms, the will be in the monophosphate state.Note: Someone previously changed this to read "Deoxythymine is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding Rna base is Uracil." While they had good intentions, this represents several common errors in molecular Biology. "Deoxythymine" does not exist as a nucleotide (or anything at all for that matter). The nucleoside is called deoxythymidine. If a nucleoside such as deoxythymidine is paired with one or more phosphate groups, it is then a nucleotide.
What has the author Shin-Ichiro Shimizu written?
Shin-Ichiro Shimizu has written: 'The synthesis of nucleoside and nucleotide analogues as potential antiviral agents'

What three things is a nucleotide made of?
The components are a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate. The nitrogen compound is called a nucleobaseand combines with the sugar to form the nucleoside, and the phosphate binds to the carbon in the sugar.
Is DNA's substance sugar?
Part of DNA is a sugar! Each base unit of DNA, a nucleotide, consists of 3 parts: deoxyribose (a sugar), a phosphate (PO4-2), and a nucleoside, either adenosine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine.
What type of drug is acyclovir?
Guanine nucleoside analogues, Nucleoside analogues and Antiviral drugs
