WordDefinition
adeninenoun(biochemistry, genetics) A base, C₅H₅N₅, found in certain glands and tissues, which pairs with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA.
cpgnoun(advertising) Initialism of consumer packaged goods.
nucleotidesnoun(biochemistry) The monomer constituting DNA or RNA biopolymer molecules. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine; a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA); and a phosphate group.
nucleotidenoun(biochemistry) The monomer constituting DNA or RNA biopolymer molecules. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine; a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA); and a phosphate group.
deoxyribonucleotidenoun(biochemistry, genetics) Any nucleotide containing deoxyribose.
deoxyribonucleicnoun(genetics) Of or pertaining to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or its derivatives.
nucleosidenoun(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.
nucleic acidnoun(biochemistry, genetics) Any acidic, chainlike biological macromolecule consisting of multiple repeat units of phosphoric acid, sugar and purine and pyrimidine bases; they are involved in the preservation, replication and expression of hereditary information in every living cell
oligonucleotidesnounA short sequence of nucleotides (RNA or DNA), typically with twenty or fewer base pairs.
ribonucleosidenoun(biochemistry) Any nucleoside component of RNA.
polynucleotidenoun(biochemistry) A polymeric macromolecule composed of many nucleotides; examples include DNA and RNA
deoxyribosenoun(biochemistry) A derivative of the pentose sugar ribose in which the 2' hydroxyl (-OH) is reduced to a hydrogen (H); it is a constituent of the nucleotides that constitute the biopolymer, deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
deoxyribonucleic acidnoun(biochemistry, genetics) A nucleic acid found in all living things (and some non-living things such as certain viruses) which consists of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix; encoded in its structure are genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction.
diphosphatenoun(chemistry) any salt or ester containing two phosphate groups
ribonucleotidenoun(biochemistry, genetics) Any nucleotide having ribose as its sugar
dideoxycytidinenoun(pharmacology) Alternative form of zalcitabine. [(pharmacology) A drug C₉H₁₃N₃O₃ which inhibits the replication of HIV and is formerly used in the treatment of AIDS, especially in combination with zidovudine. It is a synthetic analog of a pyrimidine nucleoside, acting as a reverse transcriptase inhibitor.]
diiodidenoun(chemistry) any iodide containing two iodine atoms in each molecule
oligonucleotidenounA short sequence of nucleotides (RNA or DNA), typically with twenty or fewer base pairs.
dipeptidenoun(biochemistry, organic chemistry) An organic compound formed from two amino acids joined by a peptide bond.
biomoleculesnoun(biochemistry) Molecules, such as amino acids, sugars, nucleic acids, proteins, polysaccharides, DNA, and RNA, that occur naturally in living organisms; any such molecule, even if created outside a living thing (as for example in a test tube or bioreactor).
