base pairing - CISMeF

Preferred Label : base pairing;

IUPAC definition : The specific association between two complementary strands of nucleic acids that results from the formation of hydrogen bonds between the base components of the nucleotides of each strand: A T and G C in DNA, A U and G C (and sometimes G U) in RNA (the lines indicate the number of hydrogen bonds). Single-stranded nucleic acid molecules can adopt a partially double-stranded structure through intrastrand base pairing.;
