Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The building blocks of nucleic acids, nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and at least one phosphate group.
A nucleotide is composed of three distinctive chemical sub-units: a five-carbon sugar molecule, a nitrogenous baseâwhich two together are called a nucleosideâand one phosphate group. With all three joined, a nucleotide is also termed a nucleoside monophosphate.
