The basic building block of DNA is the nucleotide. The nucleotide in DNA consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), one of four bases (cytosine (C), thymine (T), adenine (A), guanine (G)), and a phosphate.Cytosine and thymine are pyrimidine bases, while adenine and guanine are purine bases.The sugar and the base together are called a nucleoside.he nucleotide in DNA consists of a sugar (deoxyribose), one of four bases (cytosine (C), thymine (T), adenine (A), guanine (G)), and a phosphate.
First of all, DNA is not made up of nucleotide bases but of nucleotides. These consist of a sugar bound to one of the 4 nucleobases Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine or Thymine (Uracil in the case of RNA) and a phosphate group.hen these bases are bound to a sugar (2-deoxyribose for DNA), they form the nucleosides Adenosine, Cytidine, Guanosine or Thymidine respectively: When the nucleosides are bound to one or more phosphate groups, they become nucleotides. The general structure of a nucleotide is (source):
