badatscience Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 what is the phosphate part, sugar part and nitrogenous parts of thymine monophosphate? can someone help me please I am in desperate need of help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 this is deoxythymidine but the only difference is that you take the H on the ribose and add an oxygen for the regular thymidine (which is by the way the name of thymine+sugar). so... the base (thymine) is the structure with the two nitrogens, the ribose is the pentagon structure in the middle and the phosphate is attached to the other side of the ribose. hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yggdrasil Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Note that thymine is absent from RNA so in vivo you will only find deoxyribothymidine and no ribothymidine nucleotides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Note that thymine is absent from RNA so in vivo[/i'] you will only find deoxyribothymidine and no ribothymidine nucleotides. You're going to hate me for being so picky but thats not entirely true. Ribothymidine is present at certain select position in various mammalian tRNA's like the tRNA for Phenylalanine has a ribothymidine at a few select positions. I'm also pretty sure that these are done post transcriptionally but I'm not sure. Yeah this is a major exceptation and only serves to illustrate the massive collection of exceptions in biology.

Yggdrasil Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
