| deoxyribonucleotides | Nucleotides consisting of a purine or a pyrimidine base bonded to deoxyribose, which in turn is bound to a phosphate group. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adenine deoxyribonucleotide | Deoxyadenosine monophosphate, a hydrolysis product of DNA, differing from adenylic acid in containing deoxyribose in place of ribose. Synonym: adenine deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |

| guanine deoxyribonucleotide | Deoxyguanosine monophosphate, a hydrolysis product of DNA. Synonym: guanine deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymine deoxyribonucleotide | A component of DNA; originally and properly called thymidylic acid, but use of deoxy-is less ambiguous, as ribothymidylic acid is now known to exist. Synonym: thymine deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |
