(n) (biochemistry) a nucleoside that is a structural component of nucleic acids; it is present in all living cells in a combined form as a constituent of DNA and RNA and ADP and ATP and AMP
(n) an enzyme found in mammals that can catalyze the deamination of adenosine into inosine and ammonia, Syn. ADA, Example:ADA deficiency can lead to one form of severe combined immunodeficiency disease; the gene encoding ADA was one of the earlier human genes to be isolated and cloned for study
n. (Chem.) A ribonucleoside (C10H12N4O5) found in meat and meat extracts, differing from adenosine in having a hydroxyl rather than an amine attached to the purine ring. It may be prepared from adenosine by the enzyme adenosine deaminase, or by chemical deamination, as with nitrous acid. It participates in some cellular functions, but is not one of the normal nucleoside components of RNA. [ PJC ]
