"Uridine or deoxythymidyne are neucleosides formed when nitrogen base is linked to the pentosugar through a N-Glycosidic linkage" ..,, is it true ? please explain?
Nucleosides are formed by joining a Nitrogenous Base to a Ribose Sugar.
A ribose and nitrogenous base are covalently joined by a glycosidic bond to form a nucleoside molecule.
    Glycosidic bonds in nucleosides are always b-type glycosidic bonds.
    Nucleosides are named by adding the suffix "-idine" to the pyrimidine or "-osine" to the purine name.
    Pyrimidine nucelosides include Cytidine, Thymidine, and Uridine
    Purine nucleosides include Adenosine and Guanosine.
