Thymine


A pair of abnormally chemically bonded adjacent thymine bases in DNA, resulting from damage by ultra-violet irradiation. The cellular processes that repair this lesion often make errors that create mutations.

One of the four bases in DNA that make up the letters ATGC, thymine is the "T". The others are adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Thymine always pairs with adenine.

Thymine dimers can be directly converted to unlinked thymines by three means: exposure to low wavelength UV radiation; photosensitization by tryptophan or tryptophan containing peptides; enzymatically.

thymine One of the pyrimidine bases in DNA, thymine is replaced by uracil in RNA.
thyroid-stimulating hormone A hormone produced by the anterior pituitary that stimulates the production and release of thyroid hormones.

Thymine (T): A base; one of the molecular components of DNA and RNA. Always bonds with adenine (T-A).
Transcription: The process by which DNA passes genetic information to RNA. Transcription is the first step in producing proteins.

thymine A pyrimidine base occurring in DNA but not in RNA.
thymus gland A ductless mass of flattened lymphoid tissue situated behind the top of the sternum; it forms antibodies in the newborn and is involved in the development of the immune system.

Thymine (T): A nitrogenous base, one member of the base pair AT (adeninethymine).
Transcription: The synthesis of an RNA copy from a sequence of DNA (a gene); the first step in gene expression. Compare translation.

A pair of complementary nitrogenous bases in a DNA molecule--adenine-thymine and guanine-cytosine. Also, the unit of measurement for DNA sequences. Bioaugmentation.

Base sequence -- a partnership of organic bases found in DNA and RNA; adenine forms a base pair with thymine (or uracil) and guanine with cytosine in a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule.

The first three are the same as those found in DNA, but uracil replaces thymine as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine.

In the case of DNA this is comprised of adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T). RNA is identical with the exception that thymine (T) is substituted with uracil (U). Codons are non-overlapping groups of the three bases.

A common type of mutation caused by ultraviolet radiation occurs when two thymines become bonded to each other, forming a kink in the DNA molecule.
