Base pair
In
molecular biology
, two
nucleotides
on opposite
complementary
DNA
or
RNA
strands that are connected via
hydrogen bonds
are called a base pair (often abbreviated bp). In the canonical Watson-Crick base pairing,
adenine
(A) forms a base pair with
thymine
(T), as does
guanine
(G) with
cytosine
(C) in DNA. In RNA,
thymine
is replaced by
uracil
(U). Non-Watson-Crick base pairing with alternate hydrogen bonding patterns also occur, especially in RNA; common such patterns are
Hoogsteen base pairs
.
