Deoxyadenosine is a deoxyribonucleoside. It is a derivative of the nucleoside adenosine differing from the latter by the replacement of a hydroxyl group (-OH) by hydrogen (-H) at the 2′ position of its ribose sugar moiety. Deoxyadenosine is the DNA nucleoside A which pairs with deoxythymidine (T) in double-stranded DNA.
