In nucleoside a base is attached at 1C position of sugar moiety. Nucleotide is formed by linking of phosphoric acid unit to the sugar unit of nucleoside. At which position of sugar unit is the phosphoric acid linked in a nucleoside to give a nucleotide?
A nucleoside is formed when a nitrogenous base is attached to a 1’ position of a five carbon sugar. Phosphoric acid is linked to the 5’ carbon of the sugar in a nucleoside molecule to give a nucleotide molecule.
