| uridine triphosphate | A molecule which consists of the nitrogenous base uracil linked to the sugar ribose and which has a chain of three phosphate groups attached to the ribose in a linear fashion. UTP is required during transcription since it is a direct precursor of RNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adenosine 5'-diphosphate | A condensation product of adenosine with pyrophosphoric acid, formed from ATP by the hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate group of the latter compound. Acronym: ADP (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenosine diphosphate | <biochemistry> ADP is used as an adenine, a ribose and a diphosphate unit. (06 May 1997) |
