[′in·ə‚sēn] (biochemistry) C₁₀H₁₂N₄O₅ A compound occurring in muscle; a hydrolysis product of inosinic acid.

Inosine

(hypoxanthine riboside), a nucleoside consisting of the nitride purine base hypoxanthine and the carbohydrate ribose. Inosine is the intermediate product of nucleic acid metabolism. It is formed in the organism during the deamination of adenosine and also by synthesis from a free base according to the reaction hypoxanthine + ribose- 1 -phosphate ⇆ inosine + phosphate. This reversible reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme nucleoside phosphorylase.

inosine (I)

a NUCLEOSIDE found in some ANTICODONS of TRANSFER RNA. Inosine is ribosylhypoxanthine, the base being hypoxanthine, a derivative of ADENINE. Inosine generally occurs in the first position of the anticodon of certain tRNA molecules where it can base pair with U, C or A of the CODON on mRNA.
