-	%%Deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs)%%: the collective name for four different molecules (%%dGTP, dATP, dTTP, dCTP%%) that are substrates for DNA polymerase and are used to form DNA. These are sometimes abbreivated as "deoxynucleotides" (which clearly refers to dNTPs) or just "nucleotides" (which is ambiguous because it could also refer to ribonucleotides, which are the molecules used to form RNAs).	+	%%Deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs)%%: the collective name for four different molecules (%%dGTP, dATP, dTTP, dCTP%%) that are substrates for DNA polymerase and are used to form DNA.
