Thymine
For the similarly-spelled vitamin compound, see
Thiamine Thymine is one of the four bases in the
nucleic acid of
DNA that make up the letters ATGC. The others are
adenine,
guanine, and
cytosine. Thymine (T) always pairs with adenine. Also known as 5-methyluracil a
pyrimidine nucleobase. As the name implies, thymine may be derived by methylation of uracil at the 5th carbon. In
RNA thymine is replaced with
uracil in most cases. In DNA, thymine(T) binds to
adenine (A) via two hydrogen bonds to assist in stabilizing the nucleic acid structures.
