Deoxyguanosine diphosphate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deoxyguanosine diphosphate is a derivative of the common nucleic acid GTP, or guanosine triphosphate, in which the -OH (hydroxyl) group on the 2' carbon on the nucleotide's pentose has been removed (hence the deoxy- part of the name). Additionally, the diphosphate of the name indicates that one of the phosphoryl groups of GTP has been removed, most likely by hydrolysis. Deoxyguanosine diphosphate is abbreviated dGDP.
