Question

During the initial biosynthesis of a standard nucleoside, the heterocyclic nitrogenous base is chemically condensed tightly to the pentose sugar. To which precise carbon atom numbering position of the cyclic pentose sugar ring does the base securely attach itself?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. A nucleoside firmly comprises just the sugar and base. The vital covalent connection is specifically established via an -glycosidic linkage anchoring the base flawlessly to the highly reactive anomeric -carbon () of the pentose furanose sugar ring.
