17 mar 2022 · There are four types of nitrogenous bases in DNA. Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are double-ringed purines, and cytosine (C) and thymine (T) are smaller, single-ringed pyrimidines. The nucleotide is named according to the nitrogenous base it contains.

15 sty 2023 · The thymine (T) base on one strand can form two H-bonds with an adenine (A) base on the other strand (this is called an AT base pair). Double-stranded DNA has a regular geometric structure with a fixed distance between the two backbones.
28 lip 2023 · Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, each of which contains a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Deoxyribonucleotides within DNA contain deoxyribose as the pentose sugar. DNA contains the pyrimidines cytosine and thymine, and the purines adenine and guanine.
KEY CONCEPTS. DNA is a polymer of nucleotide monomers, each consisting of a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar, and one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), or cytosine (C). The nucleotides of DNA are arranged into a double helix based on the rules of base complementarity.
30 wrz 2024 · The section discusses the significance of base pairing in DNA, emphasizing how specific pairs of nitrogenous bases—adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine—form hydrogen bonds. This …
Adenine and thymine form two complementary hydrogen bonds to form the A:T base pair (A), whereas guanine and cytosine form three complementary hydrogen bonds to form the G:C base pair (B). Both the A:T and G:C base pairs have the same width, as shown in orange.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are composed of two different classes of nitrogen-containing bases: the purines and pyrimidines. The most commonly occurring purines in DNA are adenine and guanine: Figure 1.2.1: Purines. The most commonly occurring pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine and thymine: Figure 1.2.2: Pyramidines
