Nucleosides are glycosylamines that can be thought of as nucleotides without a phosphate group. A nucleoside consists simply of a nucleobase and a 5-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose), whereas a nucleotide is composed of a nucleobase, a five-carbon sugar and one or more phosphate groups. In a nucleoside, the base is bound to either ribose or deoxyribose via a β-glycosidic linkage. Examples of nucleosides include cytidine, uridine, adenosine, guanosine, thymidine and inosine. Since in cholesterol and amino acid structures, there is no nucleobase attached to 5 carbon sugar. There is no phosphate group attached in above structure.
