Nucleoside vs Polythymidine - What's the difference?
nucleoside | polythymidine |
(biochemistry) an organic molecule in which a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine, is covalently attached to a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA). When the phosphate group is covalently attached to the pentose sugar, it forms a nucleotide.
(genetics) A sequence of multiple thymidine nucleosides found in the intron
