Answer to Problem 1P
Nucleoside is composed of sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and base whereas nucleotide is composed of sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), base and phosphate.
Explanation of Solution
Nucleoside consists of nitrogen base along with sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without phosphate.
A nucleoside has sugar along with base components.
Nucleotide includes one or more phosphate groups attached to a nitrogen base.
Sugar molecules in nucleoside and nucleotide are either ribose or deoxyribose.
The removal of phosphate group from nucleotide by hydrolysis results in the formation of nucleoside.
A nucleoside is used as medicine, antiviral or anticancer agents which is important for optimal health.
Nucleotide is often used in energy sources, sequencing signal pathways.
Nucleosides are nitrogen-based compounds without phosphate groups attached to sugar whereas nucleotides have one to three phosphate groups attached to nitrogenous base and sugar. A nucleotide is nothing but nucleoside which binds phosphate groups.

- . A protein has been sequenced after cleavage of disulfide bonds. The protein is known to contain 3 Cys residues, located as shown below. Only one of the Cys has a free - SH group and the other two are involved in an -s-s- bond.
