Adenosine

Adenosine is a nucleoside composed of a molecule of adenine attached to a ribose sugar molecule (ribofuranose) moiety via a -N9-glycosidic bond.Adenosine plays an important role in biochemical processes, such as energy transfer as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) as well as in signal transduction as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cAMP. It is also an inhibitory neurotransmitter, believed to play a role in promoting sleep and suppressing arousal, with levels increasing with each hour an organism is awake.Adenosine is often abbreviated Ado.
