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 (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 (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.

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.
