How do you use Nucleoside in a sentence? See 6 example sentences showing how this word appears in different contexts, including synonyms like glycoside, plus the exact meaning.
Nucleoside meaning
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.
