| deoxyribonucleoproteins | Proteins conjugated with deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) or specific DNA. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| deoxyribonucleoside | A nucleoside component of DNA containing 2-deoxy-d-ribose; the condensation product of deoxy-d-ribose with purines or pyrimidines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribonucleosides | Nucleosides having a purine or pyrimidine base bonded to deoxyribose. (12 Dec 1998) |
| deoxyribonucleotide | <biochemistry> A molecule composed of a nitrogenous base attached to the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose, which also has a phosphate group attached to it. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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) |
| deoxyribopyrimidine endonucleosidase | <enzyme> Cleaves the 5' residue of a pyrimidine dimer, giving an apyrimidinic site and a mixed pyrimidine/pyrimidine nucleotide dimer; associated endonuclease cleaves 3' to the apyrimidinic site, giving a 3'-deoxyribose moiety and a 5'-phosphate Registry number: EC 3.2.2.17 Synonym: 5' dimer DNA glycosylase-3'-apyrimidinic endonuclease, pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase, pd-glycosylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| deoxyribopyrimidine triphosphatase | <enzyme> Degrades dutp, dctp and dttp to corresponding monophosphates Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: deoxypyrimidine triphosphatase, dpytase (26 Jun 1999) |
| deoxyribose | 2 deoxy D ribose, the sugar that when linked by 3_ 5_ phosphodiester bonds forms the backbone of DNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
| deoxyribose phosphate | See: deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribosephosphate aldolase | <enzyme> An enzyme catalyzing cleavage of 2-deoxy-d-ribose 5-phosphate to d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and acetaldehyde. Synonym: deoxyriboaldolase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyriboside | Deoxyribose combined via its 1-O atom with a radical derived from an alcohol; not to be confused with deoxyribosyl compounds such as deoxyribonucleosides. Compare: deoxyribosyl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribosyl | The radical formed from deoxyribose by removal of the OH from the C1 carbon; e.g., deoxyadenosine. Compare: deoxyriboside. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribosyltransferases | Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of 2-deoxy-d-ribose from deoxyribosides to free bases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxyribotide | Misnomer for deoxyribonucleotide or deoxynucleotide derived, by analogy with nucleoside-nucleotide, from incorrect usage of deoxyriboside. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deoxythymidine | <biochemistry> Term that is always used in practice for the nucleoside thymine deoxyriboside, not the riboside which naming of the other nucleosides might lead one to expect. (18 Nov 1997) |
