  2. Pyrimidine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrimidine

    RNA is composed of pyrimidine and purine nucleotides, both of which are necessary for reliable information transfer, and thus natural selection and Darwinian evolution. Becker et al. showed how pyrimidine nucleosides can be synthesized from small molecules and ribose, driven solely by wet-dry cycles. [26]

  3. Nucleotide base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide_base

    RNA is composed of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, both of which are necessary for reliable information transfer, and thus Darwinian evolution. Nam et al. [ 16 ] demonstrated the direct condensation of nucleobases with ribose to give ribonucleosides in aqueous microdroplets, a key step leading to RNA formation.

  4. RNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA

    Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule that is essential for most biological functions, ... and cytosine and uracil are pyrimidines.

  5. Polypyrimidine tract - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypyrimidine_tract

    The region is rich with pyrimidine nucleotides, especially uracil, and is usually 15–20 base pairs long, located about 5–40 base pairs before the 3' end of the intron to be spliced. [ 1 ] A number of protein factors bind to or associate with the polypyrimidine tract, including the spliceosome component U2AF and the polypyrimidine tract ...

  6. Ribonucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleotide

    RNA is composed of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, both of which are necessary for reliable information transfer, and thus Darwinian natural selection and evolution. The synthesis of activated pyrimidine ribonucleotides was demonstrated under plausible prebiotic conditions. [ 18 ]

  7. Nucleoside - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoside

    RNA is composed of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, both of which are necessary for reliable information transfer, and thus Darwinian natural selection and evolution. Nam et al. [ 5 ] demonstrated the direct condensation of nucleobases with ribose to give ribonucleosides in aqueous microdroplets, a key step leading to RNA formation.

  8. Cytosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosine

    Cytosine (/ ˈ s aɪ t ə ˌ s iː n,-ˌ z iː n,-ˌ s ɪ n / [2] [3]) (symbol C or Cyt) is one of the four nucleotide bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA). It is a pyrimidine derivative, with a heterocyclic aromatic ring and two substituents attached (an amine group at position 4 and a keto group ...

  9. Uracil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uracil

    Uracil (/ ˈ j ʊər ə s ɪ l /) (symbol U or Ura) is one of the four nucleotide bases in the nucleic acid RNA. The others are adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). In RNA, uracil binds to adenine via two hydrogen bonds. In DNA, the uracil nucleobase is replaced by thymine (T). Uracil is a demethylated form of thymine.
