     Deoxyribonuceotides are the monomer units which make up
     {deoxyribonucleic acid}, the molecule carrying the hereditary


     information in most organisms. The most common forms of
     deoxyribonuceotide are {thymidine-5'-phosphate} (abbreviated
     {TMP}), {deoxyadenosine-5'-phosphate} (abbreviated {dAMP}),
     {deoxyguanosine-5'-phosphate} (abbreviated {dGMP}), and
     {deoxycytidine-5'-phosphate} (abbreviated {dCMP}).
