Short example sentences

DNA uses T ( thymine ) instead. (5 words)

RNA uses uracil in place of thymine. (7 words)

Ethidium intercalated between two adenine-thymine base pairs. (8 words)

Longer example sentences

It is this third helix that interacts directly with DNA via a number of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which occur between specific side chains and the exposed bases and thymine methyl groups within the major groove of the DNA. (40 words)

Examples include C → U and A → HX ( hypoxanthine ), which can be corrected by DNA repair mechanisms; and 5MeC ( 5-methylcytosine ) → T, which is less likely to be detected as a mutation because thymine is a normal DNA base. (38 words)

On the 3'ss (3' splicing site), the base pairs adenine and cytosine alternate and repeat, and on the 5'ss (5' splicing site), their complements thymine and guanine alternate and repeat as well. (34 words)

Example sentences (20)

Adenine binds with thymine and uracil; Thymine binds only with adenine; and cytosine and guanine can bind only with one another.

Thymine could also be a target for actions of 5- fluorouracil (5-FU) in cancer treatment. 5-FU can be a metabolic analog of thymine (in DNA synthesis) or uracil (in RNA synthesis).

All genetic coding is formed by four bases: adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine -- or A, T, C and G. All healthy base pairs are either A-T or C-G.

Adenine pairs with thymine (two hydrogen bonds), and guanine pairs with cytosine (stronger: three hydrogen bonds).

Apparently, there was no evolutionary pressure to replace uracil with the more complex thymine in RNA.

At these points, one primer set recognizes DNA with cytosines to amplify methylated DNA, and one set recognizes DNA with uracil or thymine to amplify unmethylated DNA.

Depiction of the adenine thymine Watson-Crick base pair.

DNA is first treated with sodium bisulfite, which converts unmethylated cytosine bases to uracil, which is recognized by PCR primers as thymine.

DNA uses T ( thymine ) instead.

Ethidium intercalated between two adenine-thymine base pairs.

Examples include C → U and A → HX ( hypoxanthine ), which can be corrected by DNA repair mechanisms; and 5MeC ( 5-methylcytosine ) → T, which is less likely to be detected as a mutation because thymine is a normal DNA base.

Guanine when alkylated may be mispaired with thymine.

Here, purines form hydrogen bonds to pyrimidines, with adenine bonding only to thymine in two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine bonding only to guanine in three hydrogen bonds.

In DNA, thymine (T) binds to adenine (A) via two hydrogen bonds, thereby stabilizing the nucleic acid structures.

In one common damage event, adjacent thymine bases bond with each other, instead of across the "ladder".

Inosine occurs in tRNAs, and will pair with adenine, cytosine, or thymine.

It is this third helix that interacts directly with DNA via a number of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, which occur between specific side chains and the exposed bases and thymine methyl groups within the major groove of the DNA.

On the 3'ss (3' splicing site), the base pairs adenine and cytosine alternate and repeat, and on the 5'ss (5' splicing site), their complements thymine and guanine alternate and repeat as well.

RNA uses uracil in place of thymine.

The general RNA structure is very similar to the DNA structure, but in RNA the nucleotide uracil takes the place that thymine occupies in DNA.
