The article titled "nucleotide" provides great explanation for nucleotides as well as nucleoside mono-, di- and triphosphates.


the sake of technical terminology, nucleotides are given classifications as nucleosides with a prefix describing the number of phosphates present in a specific unit. For example, if a nucleotide has one phosphate, it is a nucleoside monophosphate (NMP).

Suffix, surely? Have changed it at any rate.
