Identify the nucleotide below:

Identify the nucleotide below: O-P OCH guanosine 5'-monophosphate V thymidine 5'-monophosphate cytidine 5'-monophosphate uridine 5'-monophosphate adenosine 5'-monophosphate guanosine 3'-monophosphate thymidine 3'-monophosphate cytidine 3'-monophosphate uridine 3'-monophosphate adenosine 3'-monophosphate deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate or thymidine 5'-monophosphate deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate deoxyguanosine 3'-monophosphate deoxythymidine 3'-monophosphate or thymidine 3'-monophosphate deoxycytidine 3'-monophosphate deoxyuridine 3'-monophosphate deoxyadenosine 3'-monophosphate ?? ?? ?

Explanation / Answer

deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate

The nucleotide present in the structure is guanidine, so the molecular will be a guanosine. In the list, there are 4 guanosine molecules,

guanosine 5'-monophosphate

guanosine 3'-monophosphate

deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate

deoxyguanosine 3'-monophosphate

If you look the sugar ring, it can be seen that the phosphate group is attached on 5' C-atom, so the molecule could be guanosine 5'-monophosphate, or deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate. If you look at the sugar ring no -OH group is present at C-2, confirming that it is a deoxy derivative. so deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate.
