Layman's explanation: Uridine is a part of the pyrimidine family. Uracil attaches to the sugar ribose to form a glycosidic linkage, and the resulting compound is uridine. Its involvement in the biosynthesis of RNA demonstrates that uridine is important in the translation of genetic information. Uridine is present in every cell of the human body. Uridine is a pyrimidine or a two ring structure that hydrogen bonds to a purine to complete a stable structure. A carbon sugar ring attaches to nitrogen in the base to form an N-glycosylic bond. The nitrogenous bases, which are primarily nonpolar, pack tightly enough to exclude water and from a stable, primarily nonpolar environment in the helix interior.
