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 ...

Now, researchers at Harvard University have designed a new class of adenine base editors (ABEs) that can efficiently turn A-T into G-C, opening up the majority of pathogenic point mutations for ...

Adenine and guanine are double-ring molecules called purines, but cytosine, thymine and uracil are all ... single rings on ...
