Ribosyl or deoxyribosyl derivatives (rarely, other glycosyl derivatives) of certain
pyrimidine
or
purine bases
. They are thus
glycosylamines
or N-
glycosides
related to
nucleotides
by the lack of
phosphorylation
. It has also become customary to include among nucleosides analogous substances in which the
glycosyl group
is attached to carbon rather than nitrogen ('C-nucleosides').
