Pyrimidine - Wikipedia Pyrimidine (C 4 H 4 N 2; p ɪ ˈ r ɪ m ɪ ˌ d iː n, p aɪ ˈ r ɪ m ɪ ˌ d iː n ) is an aromatic, heterocyclic, organic compound similar to pyridine (C 5 H 5 N) [3] One of the three diazines (six-membered heterocyclics with two nitrogen atoms in the ring), it has nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 in the ring
The Difference Between Purines and Pyrimidines - ThoughtCo Purines and pyrimidines are two types of aromatic heterocyclic organic compounds In other words, they are ring structures (aromatic) that contain nitrogen as well as carbon in the rings (heterocyclic) Both purines and pyrimidines are similar to the chemical structure of the organic molecule pyridine (C 5 H 5 N)
Pyrimidine- Definition, Properties, Structure, Uses - Microbe Notes Pyrimidine is a cyclic organic compound with a ring of 6 atoms; four carbon atoms with attached hydrogen or side chain and 2 nitrogen atoms at -1, and -3 positions The carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) atoms are bonded by single and double bonds altering each other
Pyrimidine - The Definitive Guide - Biology Dictionary Pyrimidine is a simple aromatic ring composed of two nitrogen atoms and four carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon The carbon and nitrogen atoms are connected via alternating double and single bonds
Purines and Pyrimidines - Science Notes and Projects Pyrimidines consist of a single six-membered ring with two nitrogen atoms and four carbon atoms The general molecular formula for pyrimidines is C 4 H 4 N 2 Cytosine (both DNA and RNA), thymine (in DNA), and uracil (in RNA) are the primary pyrimidines Like purines, pyrimidines also contribute to the structure of DNA and RNA

Pyrimidine - Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary Pyrimidine is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound with a chemical formula of C 4 H 4 N 2 It has a single ring (called a pyrimidine ring) with alternating carbon and nitrogen atoms The molar mass of pyrimidine is 80 088 g mol and its melting point is at 20-22 °C
Pyrimidine: Essential Building Block of DNA and RNA - Nanowerk Pyrimidines are a class of aromatic heterocyclic organic compounds that form the building blocks of nucleic acids, the genetic material of all living organisms They are essential components of DNA and RNA, playing a crucial role in storing and transmitting genetic information
Structural Biochemistry Nucleic Acid Nitrogenous Bases Pyrimidines . . . A pyrimidine is a 6-membered heterocyclic organic compound made up of 4 carbon atoms and 2 nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 [1] It is one of three isomers of diazine, the other two being pyridazine (1,2-diazine), and pyrazine (1,4-diazine) [2] Pyrimidines are aromatic and planar
