By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Nucleotide Definition: A nucleotide is an organic molecule made up of a nucleotide base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and at least one phosphate group. Nucleotides make up the basic units of DNA and RNA molecules.
DNA is a very large molecule, made up of smaller units called nucleotides that are strung together in a row, making a DNA molecule thousands of times longer than it is wide. Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar molecule, a phosphate molecule, and a structure called a nitrogenous base.The nitrogenous base is the part of the nucleotide that carries genetic information, so the words nucleotide and base are often used interchangeably.The bases found in DNA come in four varieties: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymineoften abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, the letters of the genetic alphabet.ach nucleotide has three parts: a sugar molecule, a phosphate molecule, and a structure called a nitrogenous base.
