    Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the basic structural units of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, and are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and at least one phosphate group. Nucleotides carry packets of energy within cells as ATP and play central roles in metabolism, cell signaling through molecules like cGMP and cAMP, and are incorporated into important cofactors for enzymatic reactions such as coenzyme A and FAD.

    Nucleotide

    Structural elements of common nucleic acid constituents. The compounds marked nucleoside monophosphate, nucleoside diphosphate and nucleoside triphosphate are all nucleotides. Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a ve-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group. Nucleotides serve to carry packets of energy within the cell (ATP). In the form of the nucleoside triphosphates (ATP, GTP, CTP and UTP), nucleotides play central roles in metabolism.[1] In addition, nucleotides participate in cell signaling (cGMP and cAMP), and are incorporated into important cofactors of enzymatic reactions (e.g. coenzyme A, FAD, FMN, NAD, and NADP+).
