Draw a five-membered 2-deoxy-D-ribose furanose ring, numbered C-1' through C-5', with a free -OH shown ONLY at C-3' and a plain hydrogen (no -OH) at C-2' -- this missing C-2' oxygen, per Fig. 14.24, is exactly what distinguishes the DNA sugar (2-deoxyribose) from the RNA sugar (ribose) used in AMP (Diagrams|v).
Step 2. Attach the base adenine to the sugar's anomeric carbon, C-1', through adenine's own ring N-9 (the purine-bonding rule, same as for AMP, since the base itself does not differ between AMP and dAMP -- only the sugar does).
Step 3. Attach a single phosphate group, esterified onto the sugar's C-5'-OH, exactly as in AMP. …
