Review the structure and replication of DNA, including key concepts and mechanisms.
27 Μαρ 2021 · The purine adenine (A) always pairs with the pyrimidine thymine (T) – two hydrogen bonds are formed between these bases. The purine guanine (G) always pairs with the pyrimidine cytosine (C) – three hydrogen bonds are formed between these bases. This is known as complementary base pairing.
24 Σεπ 2018 · Adenine and thymine form two complementary hydrogen bonds to form the A:T base pair (A), whereas guanine and cytosine form three complementary hydrogen bonds to form the G:C base pair (B). Both the A:T and G:C base pairs have the same width, as shown in orange.
In other words, adenine and thymine are complementary base pairs, and cytosine and guanine are also complementary base pairs. This is the basis for Chargaff’s rule; because of their complementarity, there is as much adenine as thymine in a DNA molecule and as much guanine as cytosine.
15 Μαΐ 2022 · The rules of base pairing explain the phenomenon that whatever the amount of adenine (A) in the DNA of an organism, the amount of thymine (T) is the same (called Chargaff's rule). Similarly, whatever the amount of guanine (G), the amount of cytosine (C) is the same.

7 Μαρ 2024 · Complementary base pairing plays a crucial role in the structure and function of DNA. It refers to the specific hydrogen bonding between adenine (A) and thymine (T), as well as guanine (G) and cytosine (C). This pairing ensures the accurate replication and expression of genetic information.
