Base Pair: The Building Blocks of DNA and RNA
In this type of pairing, adenine (A) forms two hydrogen bonds with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA, while guanine (G) forms three hydrogen bonds with cytosine (C). These base pairs are highly ...

DNA Nanotechnology: Building Blocks of the Future
DNA is composed of four types of nucleotides, or bases, each designated by a letter: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C) – or CGAT for short. These bases intertwine in a spiral ...
Scientists Just Found DNA’s Building Blocks in Asteroid Bennu – Could This Explain Life’s Origins?
Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

DNA damage can last unrepaired for years, changing our view of mutations
DNA damage is distinct from a mutation. While a mutation is one of the standard four DNA bases (A, G, T or C) in the wrong place, similar to a spelling mistake, DNA damage is chemical alteration ...
Newly discovered protein prevents DNA triplication
It is not a simple process. A human DNA molecule has 3 billion chemical pieces, the bases—the famous letters A, T, C, G. The ...
