Identification
Name:Thymine
DescriptionThymine is a nucleobase that is also known as 5-methyluracil. As the name suggests, thymine may be derived by methylation of uracil at the 5th carbon. In RNA, thymine is replaced with uracil. In DNA, thymine (T) binds to adenine (A) via two hydrogen bonds, thus stabilizing the nucleic acid structures. Thymine combined with deoxyribose creates the nucleoside deoxythymidine, when it is combined with ribose it creates the nucleoside thymidine. Thymidine can be phosphorylated with one, two, or three phosphoric acid groups, creating, respectively, TMP, TDP, or TTP
