2. Nucleotide base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide_base

   The purine nitrogenous bases are characterized by their single amino group (−NH 2), at the C6 carbon in adenine and C2 in guanine. [5] Similarly, the simple-ring structure of cytosine, uracil, and thymine is derived of pyrimidine, so those three bases are called the pyrimidine bases. [6]

3. Cytosine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosine

   Cytosine (/ ˈ s aɪ t ə ˌ s iː n,-ˌ z iː n,-ˌ s ɪ n / [2] [3]) (symbol C or Cyt) is one of the four nucleotide bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA). It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group ...

4. Adenine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenine

   Adenine (/ ˈ æ d ɪ n ɪ n /) (symbol A or Ade) is a purine nucleotide base.It is one of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acids of DNA, the other three being guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

5. Thymine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymine

   Thymine (/ ˈ θ aɪ m ɪ n /) (symbol T or Thy) is one of the four nucleotide bases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters G–C–A–T. The others are adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Thymine is also known as 5-methyluracil, a pyrimidine nucleobase. In RNA, thymine is replaced by the nucleobase uracil.

6. Nucleotide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide

   The purine bases adenine and guanine and pyrimidine base cytosine occur in both DNA and RNA, while the pyrimidine bases thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA) occur in just one. Adenine forms a base pair with thymine with two hydrogen bonds, while guanine pairs with cytosine with three hydrogen bonds.

7. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

   The pyrimidines are cytosine and thymine. It has a single ring structure, a six-membered ring containing nitrogen. It has a single ring structure, a six-membered ring containing nitrogen. A purine base always pairs with a pyrimidine base (guanine (G) pairs with cytosine (C) and adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) or uracil (U)).

8. DNA - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA

   The four bases found in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T). These four bases are attached to the sugar-phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate. Adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine, forming A-T and G-C base pairs. [17] [18]

9. Base pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_pair

   The bigger nucleobases, adenine and guanine, are members of a class of double-ringed chemical structures called purines; the smaller nucleobases, cytosine and thymine (and uracil), are members of a class of single-ringed chemical structures called pyrimidines. Purines are complementary only with pyrimidines: pyrimidine–pyrimidine pairings are ...
