In the double helix structure of DNA, thymine forms a base pair with adenine through two hydrogen bonds. This specific pairing is known as complementary base pairing and is essential for the stability ...

Adenine can exist in different tautomeric forms, with the amino group (-NH 2) at position 6 being the most stable. This tautomerism is crucial for the correct base pairing with thymine or uracil, as ...

With the arrival of a new class of single-nucleotide editors, researchers can target the most common type of pathogenic SNP in humans. Now, researchers at Harvard University have designed a new class ...

Because there are four naturally occurring nitrogenous bases, there are four different types of DNA nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). Within double-stranded DNA ...
