It is an organic compound that owes its property as a Base chemistry base to the lone pair of electron s of a nitrogen atom . In biological science s, nitrogenous bases are typically classified as the derivatives of two parent compounds, pyrimidine and purine . ref Nelson and Cox 2008, p. 272. ref They are non polar and due to their aromaticity , planar. Both pyrimidines and purines resemble pyridine and are thus weak bases and relatively unreactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution . ref Carey 2006, p. 1206. ref Their flat shape is particularly important when considering their roles in nucleic acids as nucleobase s building blocks of DNA and RNA adenine , guanine , thymine , cytosine , and uracil . These nitrogenous bases hydrogen bond between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the twisted ladder or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides. Adenine is always paired with thymine, and guanine is always paired with cytosine. Uracil is only present in RNA replacing thymine and pairing with adenine.

Image Cytosine chemical structure.png thumb right upright Cytosine Image Phosphate formula.svg thumb right Phosphate Image Guanine chemical structure.png thumb Guanine CpG sites or CG sites are regions of DNA where a cytosine nucleotide occurs next to a guanine nucleotide in the linear DNA sequence sequence of Base pair base s along its length. CpG is shorthand for C phosphate G , that is, cytosine and guanine separated by only one phosphate phosphate links any two nucleoside s together in DNA. The CpG notation is used to distinguish this linear sequence from the CG base pair base pairing of cytosine and guanine. Cytosines in CpG dinucleotides can be methylated to form 5 methylcytosine . In mammal s, methylating the cytosine within a gene can turn the gene off, a mechanism that is part of a larger field of science studying gene regulation that is called epigenetics . Enzymes that add a methyl group are called DNA methyltransferase s.

Technical date May 2010 RNA directed DNA methylation RdDM is an epigenetics epigenetic process first elucidated in plants whereby small double stranded RNA s dsRNA s are processed to guide methylation to complementary DNA locus genetics loci . In the model plant organism Arabidopsis thaliana , these small dsRNA s may be generated from three sources Viral replication intermediates Products of the endogenous RNA dependent RNA polymerase Transcribed inverted repeats These dsRNAs are then processed to direct histone 3 lysine 9 H3K9 methylation via Ago4 and the SUVH Suppressor of Variegation Homolog histone methyltransferase family. This H3K9 dimethylation is then putatively bound by the cytosine methyltransferase CMT3, which methylates cytosines in a non CG context. These marks, H3K9 dimethylation and cytosine methylation, are canonical marks of gene silencing . Thus small double stranded RNAs generated in diverse contexts bring about transcriptional silencing at specific loci.

unreferenced date February 2007 Nucleoside triphosphate NTP is a molecule containing a nucleoside bound to three phosphate s. Natural nucleoside triphosphates include adenosine triphosphate ATP , guanosine triphosphate GTP , cytidine triphosphate CTP , 5 methyluridine triphosphate m sup 5 sup UTP , and uridine triphosphate UTP . These terms refer to those nucleoside triphosphates that contain ribose. The nucleoside triphosphates containing deoxyribose take prefix deoxy in their names and small d in their abbreviations deoxyadenosine triphosphate dATP , deoxyguanosine triphosphate dGTP , deoxycytidine triphosphate dCTP , deoxythymidine triphosphate dTTP and deoxyuridine triphosphate . Check the entry nucleoside for table and description of these compounds. Apart from d ATP, d GTP, d CTP, d TTP and d UTP, there are other less abundant NTPs, such as intermediates of nucleotide metabolism, but also rare natural nucleotides or even artificial nucleotides . The rare NTP are tautomeric forms of the NTPs. They cause mismatched base pairing during DNA replication. For example, a tautomeric form of cytosine is capable of forming 3 h bonds with adenine, and it will spontaneously revert to its original cytosine form, causing a mismatch. By a similar token, the deamination of cytosine leads to uracil, whereas a deamination of a commonly encountered in eukaryotes 5 methylcytosine will lead to thymine. However, the 5 to 3 DNA replication ensures that these mismatched bases are excised. Nucleotide derivatives are necessary for life, as they are building blocks of nucleic acid s and have thousands of other roles in cell metabolism and regulation. ATP is a major source of cellular energy. GTP is a very frequent cofactor of enzymes and proteins. NTPs generally provide energy and phosphate group for phosphorylations. Generally nucleoside s are nucleotide s sugar covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base, such as adenine, guanine, cytosine... that lack phosphates. However, for the sake of ... more details
