1. Adenosine

   Adenosine (symbol A) is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature in the form of diverse derivatives. The molecule consists of an adenine attached to a ribose via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. Adenosine is one of the four nucleoside building blocks of RNA (and its derivative deoxyadenosine is a building block of DNA), which are essential for all life. Its derivatives include the energy carriers adenosine mono-, di-, and triphosphate, also known as AMP/ADP/ATP. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is pervasive in signal transduction. Adenosine is used as an intravenous medication for some cardiac arrhythmias. Adenosyl (abbreviated Ado or 5'-dAdo) is the chemical group formed by removal of the 5′-hydroxy (OH) group. It is found in adenosylcobalamin (an active form of vitamin B12) and as a radical in radical SAM enzymes.

1. adenosine

   Adenosine is a purine nucleoside consisting of a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule moiety via a β-N-acetylgalactosaminyl bond. It plays crucial roles in biochemical processes such as energy transfer as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and signal transduction as cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Adenosine also possesses various anti-inflammatory effects and is implicated in various aspects of cellular signalling, including promotion of sleep and suppression of arousal.

1. Adenosine

   Adenosine is a purine nucleoside comprising a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule moiety via a β-N9-glycosidic bond. Adenosine plays an important role in biochemical processes, such as energy transfer—as adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate —as well as in signal transduction as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cAMP. It is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter, believed to play a role in promoting sleep and suppressing arousal.

1. Adenosine

   A nucleoside that is composed of adenine and d-ribose. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter.
