Question

When a β-N-glycosidic bond forms between guanine and deoxyribose, the resulting molecule is called deoxyriboguanosine. This is because the molecule consists of guanine bonded to deoxyribose via a β-N-glycosidic bond. The suffix "-osine" indicates that the base is attached to a sugar molecule, while "deoxyrib-" specifies that it is a deoxyribose sugar.
