What is the linkage formed between nitrogenous base and OH of 1'C pentose sugar?

What is the linkage formed between nitrogenous base and OH of 1'C pentose sugar?
  1. Phosphoester linkage
  2. N-glycosidic linkage
  3. 3'-5' phosphodiester linkage
  4. 3'-5' N-glycosidic linkage

Solution

A nitrogenous base is linked to the OH of 1'C pentose sugar through an N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside.
