Nucleosides are glycosylamines that can be thought of as nucleotides without aphosphate group. A nucleoside consists simply of a nucleobase (also termed anitrogenous base) and a five-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose), whereas a nucleotide is composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. In a nucleoside, the base is bound to either ribose or deoxyribose via a beta-glycosidic linkage. Examples of nucleosides include cytidine, uridine, adenosine,guanosine, thymidine and inosine.
