Product description:A - T base pairs of DNA is part of (adenine, thymine). Used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Thymine is one of the bases of DNA. Can combine with DNA forming thymine DNA nucleotides, the 5 - a product of methyl hydrogen for fluorinated called three fluorinated thymine DNA nucleoside, used as a kind of antitumor drug resistance to the nucleic acid metabolism. Ultraviolet irradiation can make the DNA molecules in the same chain between two adjacent thymine bases form dimers, affected the DNA double helix structure, make its replication and transcription functions are impeded. DNA molecules in A chain of thymine (T) and another strand of adenine (A), suitable for forming two hydrogen bonds, is one of the important forces of the DNA double helix structure stability.
