Overview

The nucleotide, a building component of DNA and RNA, is made up of three parts: a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group (Figure 1). Nitrogenous bases contain purine or pyrimidine base. DNA contains adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T) and cytosine (C), whereas RNA contains adenine, guanine, uracil (U) and cytosine. A nucleotide contains a pentose sugar. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) contains deoxyribose sugar and RNA contains a ribose sugar. Phosphate group is attached to the sugar of nucleoside by an ester bond with the 5th C hydroxyl group. Nucleotides at least contain one phosphate group. Besides being the basic unit of genetic material for creatures, a nucleotide can have other functions as well. For example, they are also found in coenzymes like NAD and NADP, which come from ADP; these molecules are used in many chemical reactions that play roles in metabolism. Another molecule that contains a nucleotide is cyclic AMP, a messenger molecule that is important in many processes including the regulation of metabolism and transporting chemical signals to cells. Nucleotides not only make up the building blocks of life, but also generate many different molecules. Therefore, its aberrant is closely associated with human pathologies like anaemia and cancer. Scientists at Creative Proteomics take advantage of highly quantitative methods with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of nucleotides in various samples. Furthermore, we provide reliable, rapid and cost-effective nucleotides related service to speed up your research aims ranging from diseases diagnosis to gaining new insights in disease mechanism or treatment.
