A Deoxyribonucleotide is a nucleotide, having a purine or a pyrimidine base bonded to a deoxyribose.
There are four different types of deoxyribonucleotides, they can also be called deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs): dATP (Deoxyadenosine Triophosphate), dCTP (Deoxycytidine Triophosphate), dGTP Deoxyguanine Triophosphate), dTTP (Deoxythymine Triophosphate).
Each of these is one of the purine or pyrimidine bases that become the building blocks for DNA[1].
