What are the suffixes of nucleic acids?

Amino acids, as their name suggests, are distinguished by having both an amino group and an acid (carboxylate) group. For historical reasons, however, most amino acids end in "-ine", indicating the amine group. The group of amino acids having carboxylate side chains, however, end in "-ate", and includes aspartate and glutamate (sometimes called aspartic acid and glutamic acid). Tryptophan is the odd man out, having a unique indole functional group.
