Dictionary » U » Uracil UracilA nitrogen-containing base found in RNA (but not in DNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine.uracil (Science: biochemistry) The pyrimidine base from which uridine is derived. One of the bases that is found on nucleotides of an RNA chain, which replaces thymine from the original DNA template and therefore pairs with adenine in RNA.

Results from our forumuracil_DNAbecause it evolved so and today we can only guess why. Some of the proposals is the ability to distinguish cytosine's deamination product uracil as mistake.

Molecular gene (genome) concept scientifically untenable... only to be promptly replaced by insertases. A base can spontaneously undergo change. A cytosine, for example, will lose an amino group and become uracil. Uracil is perfectly at home in RNA but not in DNA. The enzymes called uracil glycosylases recognize the uracil, remove it and replace it with ...
