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.
Uracil is a pyrimidine that is structurally similar to the thymine, another pyrimidine that is found in DNA. Like thymine, uracil can base-pair with adenine (Figure 2).
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.
There are many ways to make uracil in the laboratory. The first reaction described is the simplest of all, adding water to cytosine to produce uracil and ammonia. The most common way to produce uracil is by condensing maleic acid with urea in fuming sulfuric acid, as described you can see below.
