how to sort nucleotide building blocks by their name or classification?

1 Answers

Try this.Pure As Gold: Purines are Adenine and GuaninePyramids CUT: Pyramidines are Cytosine, Uracil, and ThyminePurines are 2 ring nitrogenous bases while pyramidines are one hexagonal ring nitrogenous bases A pairs with T because there are 2 hydrogen bonds that form between A and T.C pairs with G because there are 3 hydrogen bonds that form between C and G.If you have to know what each nucleotide looks like, I honestly would just memorize it. I think when I was in biochemistry, I had to be able to recognize which was which but I used the criteria above to narrow things down.Link of structures: http://web2.mendelu.cz/af_291_projekty2/vseo/files…The link I’ve provided above does a good job highlighting (literally) the minor differences in terms of the substituents off of the nitrogenous bases.
