Medical Definition of Nucleoside q
1.
(1s-(1 alpha,4 beta,5 beta))-2-amino-5-(((4,5-dihydroxy-2-cyclopenten-1-yl)amino)methyl)-1,7-dihydro-7-beta-d-ribofuranosyl-4h-pyrrolo(2,3-d)pyrimidin-4-one. A modified nucleoside which is present in the first position of the anticodon of tRNA-tyrosine, tRNA-histidine, tRNA-asparagine and tRNA-aspartic acid of many organisms. It is believed to play a role in the regulatory function of tRNA. Nucleoside q can be further modified to nucleoside q*, which has a mannose or galactose moiety linked to position 4 of its cyclopentenediol moiety.
