Thymidine diphosphate

Thymidine diphosphate (TDP) or deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP) (also thymidine pyrophosphate, dTPP) is a nucleotide diphosphate.

It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside thymidine.

dTDP consists of the pyrophosphate group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase thymine.

Unlike the other deoxyribonucleotides, thymidine diphosphate does not always contain the "deoxy" prefix in its name.
