'''Adenosine''', is one of the nucleotides used to build [[RNA]]. It is also incorporated into [[DNA]], but in DNA the ribose ring is a 2'-deoxyribose ring. In both DNA and RNA, adenosine is linked to the other nucleotides by phosphodiester bonds at both the 3'- and 5'- positions. In duplex DNA, the [[adenine]] base present in adenosine is hydrogen bonded with a [[thymidine]] nucleotide on the opposite DNA strand. | |||

Adenosine, is one of the nucleotides used to build RNA. It is also incorporated into DNA, but in DNA the ribose ring is a 2'-deoxyribose ring. In both DNA and RNA, adenosine is linked to the other nucleotides by phosphodiester bonds at both the 3'- and 5'- positions. In duplex DNA, the adenine base present in adenosine is hydrogen bonded with a thymidine nucleotide on the opposite DNA strand.
