Pyrimidine (C 4 H 4 N 2; / p ɪ ˈ r ɪ. m ɪ ˌ d iː n, p aɪ ˈ r ɪ. m ɪ ˌ d iː n /) is an aromatic, heterocyclic, organic compound similar to pyridine (C 5 H 5 N). [3] One of the three diazines (six-membered heterocyclics with two nitrogen atoms in the ring), it has nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 in the ring.
Similarly, the simple-ring structure of cytosine, uracil, and thymine is derived of pyrimidine, so those three bases are called the pyrimidine bases. [ 6 ] Each of the base pairs in a typical double- helix DNA comprises a purine and a pyrimidine: either an A paired with a T or a C paired with a G.
Purine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound that consists of two rings (pyrimidine and imidazole) fused together.It is water-soluble.Purine also gives its name to the wider class of molecules, purines, which include substituted purines and their tautomers.
Pyrimidines are organic compounds that contain the pyrimidine base structure. Subcategories.
[4] [5] A structure was proposed in 1903, and was synthesized (and thus confirmed) in the laboratory in the same year. In 1998, cytosine was used in an early demonstration of quantum information processing when Oxford University researchers implemented the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm on a two qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computer ...
Chemical structure of pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine, one of the isomers of pyridopyrimidine. Pyridopyrimidine is an organic hetero bicyclic chemical compound consisting of pyridine ring fused orthogonally at any position to a pyrimidine ring. [1]
The nitrogen (N)-containing aromatic rings can be separated into basic aromatic rings that are easily protonated, and form aromatic cations and salts (e.g., pyridinium), and non-basic aromatic rings.
The amide tautomer is referred to as the lactam structure, while the imidic acid tautomer is referred to as the lactim structure. These tautomeric forms are predominant at pH 7. The lactam structure is the most common form of uracil. Uracil tautomers: Amide or lactam structure (left) and imide or lactim structure (right)
