Nucleotide
Nucleotides
are
organic molecules
that serve as the
monomers
, or subunits, of
nucleic acids
like
DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid) and
RNA
(ribonucleic acid). The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a
nitrogenous base
, a
five-carbon sugar
(
ribose
or
deoxyribose
), and at least one
phosphate group
. Thus a
nucleoside
plus a phosphate group yields a nucleotide.
