What is the noun for nucleotide?

What's the noun for nucleotide? Here's the word you're looking for.

nucleoside
  1. (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.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Two of these, adenylate kinase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, contain potential critical building blocks.”
      “Cidofovir is a nucleoside phosphonate analogue that inhibits herpes virus DNA polymerases.”
      “Nonpolar nucleoside isosteres have proven broadly useful in the study of DNA replication by a wide variety of polymerase enzymes.”
nucleotide
  1. (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.
  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.”
      “This happens in the case that the candidate sequence is identical to the most conserved nucleotide at every position of the consensus matrix.”
      “Consistent with the close phylogenetic relationships of the species sampled, most nucleotide sites were invariant in pair wise comparisons.”
nuclease
  1. (biochemistry) Any of several enzymes capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotide subunits of nucleic acids.
  2. Examples:
    1. “Enzymological studies show that binding greatly stimulates its nuclease activity.”
      “Intact nucleosomal structure was verified by micrococcal nuclease digestion.”
      “Among the considered enzyme types, nuclease and polymerase enzymes will retain strong growth during the forecast period.”
nucleobase
  1. (biochemistry) The base of a nucleic acid, such as thymine, uracil, adenine, cytosine and guanine.
nucleotidase
  1. (biochemistry) Any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis or a nucleotide to a nucleoside and phosphate
nucleosidase
  1. (biochemistry) Any enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a nucleoside, separating the base and the sugar.
nucleosyl
  1. (organic chemistry) Any univalent radical derived from a nucleoside
nucleotidyltransferase
  1. (biochemistry) Any enzyme that transfers nucleotide residues
nucleosidation
  1. (organic chemistry) Reaction with, or conversion to, a nucleoside
nucleophosphatase
  1. Synonym of nucleotidase
nucleotidyltransferases
nucleophosphatases
  1. plural of nucleophosphatase
nucleosidases
  1. plural of nucleosidase
nucleotidases
  1. plural of nucleotidase
nucleobases
  1. plural of nucleobase
nucleosides

  2. Synonyms:
  3. Examples:
    1. “The double helix unwinds and the nucleotides follow basically the same base pairing rules to form the correct sequence in the mRNA.”
      “Starting at one end of the gene, the genetic code is read three nucleotides at a time.”
      “Nucleic acids are also polymers, composed of repeating units called nucleotides.”
nucleases
  1. plural of nuclease
  2. Examples:
    1. “In Belgium, as late as 1945, Gratia's group observed that nucleases had no effect on four tested bacteriophages of various origins.”
      “Such hydrolytic enzymes as cystein proteinases, serine proteinases, and nucleases are highly induced during xylogenesis.”
      “These DNA-binding proteins include polymerases, helicases, nucleases, isomerases, ligases, histones, and others.”
