Which of the Following Bonds is Found Between Adenine and Ribose

Question

Which of the following bonds is found between adenine and ribose in an ATP molecule?
A) a β-N-glycosidic bond
B) a β-N-fructosidic bond
C) an α-N-glycosidic bond
D) an α-N-fructosidic bond

Accepted Answer

The bond between adenine and ribose in an ATP molecule is a β-N-glycosidic bond. This bond forms between the nitrogenous base (adenine) and the sugar (ribose), specifically between the nitrogen atom of adenine and the 1' carbon of ribose.
