In nucleoside, a base is attached at 1' position of the sugar moiety. A nucleotide is formed by linking the phosphoric acid unit to the sugar unit of a nucleoside. At which position of sugar unit is the phosphoric acid linked in a nucleoside to give a nucleotide?

Answers (1)

The characteristic formation feature of nucleoside it that it requires five-carbon sugar with a nitrogenous base attached to its 1’ position. And in this case, the phosphoric acid present in the five-carbon sugar is linked to the 5’ position of the nucleoside molecules converting it into a nucleotide molecule.
