desoxyguanosine
Desoxyguanosine, also known as deoxyguanosine, is a nucleoside that plays a crucial role in molecular biology. It is a derivative of guanine, one of the four nucleobases found in DNA. Specifically, desoxyguanosine is composed of guanine linked to a deoxyribose sugar molecule. This deoxyribose sugar is a five-carbon sugar that lacks an oxygen atom at the 2' position, distinguishing it from the ribose sugar found in RNA.
In the context of DNA, desoxyguanosine pairs with cytosine through hydrogen bonds, forming one of the fundamental
