- Allosteric protein refers toarrow_forwardThe linkage between individual nucleotides in DNA is known as a phosphodiester bond because— two esters are connected by a single covalent bond whose formation is catalyzed by a phosphate. a double bond is formed in the process of esterification of a phosphate group. a nucleoside diphosphate is involved and each phosphate forms one ester. a single phosphate is esterified to two deoxyribose units. two bonds are phosphorylated into one single bondarrow_forwardAll nucleoside contain ribosearrow_forward
