Example types with pyrimidine
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

Aspartate carbamoyltransferase performs a step in building the pyrimidine nucleotides ( cytosine and thymidine ). (13 words)
Also connected with the gene URA3, that codes an enzyme related to the biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides (T, C); * Yeast Replicative Plasmid (YRp), which transport a sequence of chromosomal DNA that includes an origin of replication. (36 words)
Aspartate carbamoyltransferase also ensures that just the right amount of pyrimidine nucleotides is available, as activator and inhibitor molecules attach to aspartate carbamoyltransferase to speed it up and to slow it down. (32 words)
The only other purine-pyrimidine pairings would be AC and GT and UG (in RNA); these pairings are mismatches because the patterns of hydrogen donors and acceptors do not correspond. (30 words)
