Word: Deoxyguanosine Monophosphate (often abbreviated as dGMP)

Part of Speech: Noun

Definition: Deoxyguanosine monophosphate is one of the four building blocks, called nucleotides, that make up DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). It consists of a phosphate group, a sugar (specifically ribose), and a nitrogenous base called guanine.

Usage Instructions:
  • When to Use: You can use the term "deoxyguanosine monophosphate" when discussing DNA structure, genetics, or biochemistry. It is a technical term mostly used in scientific contexts.
  • Pronunciation: de-oxy-gua-no-sine mon-o-phos-phate
Example:
  • "Deoxyguanosine monophosphate is essential for the proper functioning of DNA replication."
Advanced Usage:
  • In scientific research, dGMP can be studied to understand mutations in DNA or the effects of certain drugs on genetic material. It can also be involved in signaling pathways within cells.
Word Variants:
  • Deoxyguanosine Triphosphate (dGTP): A variant that has three phosphate groups instead of one and is used during DNA synthesis.
  • Deoxyguanosine: The base without the phosphate group; it’s the part of the nucleotide that pairs with cytosine in DNA.
Different Meaning:
  • In a broader context, "nucleotide" refers to any of the four building blocks of DNA or RNA (the other three are deoxyadenosine monophosphate, deoxycytidine monophosphate, and deoxythymidine monophosphate).
Synonyms:
  • There aren’t exact synonyms for "deoxyguanosine monophosphate," but you might come across the term "nucleotide" when discussing it generally.
Idioms and Phrasal Verbs:
  • There are no idioms or phrasal verbs specifically related to "deoxyguanosine monophosphate," as it is a specialized scientific term.
Summary:

Deoxyguanosine monophosphate is a crucial component of DNA, and understanding it is important for studies in genetics and molecular biology.

Noun
  1. one of the four nucleotides used in building DNA; all four nucleotides have a common phosphate group and a sugar (ribose)
