Guanosine
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Guanosine is a
molecule (known as a
nucleoside) that is formed when
guanine is attached to a
ribose ring (also known as a
ribofuranose) via a β-N
9-
glycosidic bond.
Guanosine can be phosphorylated to become GDP (guanosine diphosphate) and GTP (guanosine triphosphate) among other things.
If guanine is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it
is known as a deoxyguanosine.
