Thymine

Thymine is a pyrimidine base. It forms complementary base pairs with the purine adenine (Cay-18148) in DNA. Thymine is produced by the catabolism of thymidine (Cay-20519) via thymidine phosphorylase. It is replaced with uracil (Cay-26088) in RNA.Formal Name: 5-methyl-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione. CAS Number: 65-71-4. Synonyms: 5-Methyluracil, NSC 14705, NSC 168663. Molecular Formula: C5H6N2O2.
