The existence of thymine in DNA instead of uracil is apparently due to evolution process which made DNA more stable. Thymine has greater resistance to photochemical mutation, making …

2017年4月4日 · Benefit of using thymine rather than uracil. For DNA the benefit is clear and stated in the question. By not using uracil as the complement to adenine, uracil produced by …

2017年4月1日 · Conversion of uracil to thymine requires energy, meaning uracil is energetically less expensive than thymine. This also directly explains (partly) why mRNA doesn't …

2013年7月3日 · $\begingroup$ I am not sure.. UMP is the first product of de-novo pyrimidine synthesis. The ribose is reduced and uracil is methylated to produce dTTP.

2014年12月12日 · The structure of RNA nucleotides is very similar to that of DNA nucleotides, with the main difference being that the ribose sugar backbone in RNA has a hydroxyl (-OH) …

2013年10月5日 · RNA has Uracil instead of thymine and DNA has thymine instead of uracil. So, how can RNA be converted into DNA? I think you may want to ask a more basic question. …

2016年6月14日 · Ok so what I was confused about is when you are getting the code for the amino acid you can look at the mRNA strand which is the same as the sense strand except uracil …

2020年4月5日 · This states that "t" can represent thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA. However my respondent could not find out whether this representation was used in GenBank for RNA …

2021年7月3日 · $\begingroup$ Uracil in DNA arises from the deamination of cytosine, and as such replaces C and not thymine. Thus a C-G base-pair is converted (by deamination) to a …

2016年3月12日 · This allows for proof-reading. George C. Williams summarised this beautifully in his pithy passage (from "The Pony Fish's Glow" (1997)) (recall that adenine [A] on one strand …
