RNA consists of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, cytosine, uracil, and guanine. Uracil is a pyrimidine that is structurally similar to the thymine , another pyrimidine that is found in DNA.
Not to be confused with uridine. Uracil (/ ˈjʊərəsɪl /) (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.
The structure of uracil consists of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms, and its chemical formula is C4H4N2O2. Uracil is involved in the regulation of gene expression through its role in mRNA and its participation in RNA splicing.
6 ημέρες πριν · Uracil (U) is one of the four nucleotide bases in RNA, with the other three being adenine (A), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). In RNA, uracil pairs with adenine. In a DNA molecule, the nucleotide thymine (T) is used in place of uracil.
