Acids and bases have been used by chemists for centuries, and are among the most fundamental reagents employed in synthetic organic chemistry. This Aldrich product line ranges from BrÃ¸nsted and Lewis... Chemfiles Volume 1 Article 3.
Bases are found in both DNA and RNA. As seen below, they are adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil. They are abbreviated (A, C, G, T, U). Three of the bases (A, G, C) are found in both DNA and RNA. However, uracil (U) is found only in RNA and thymine (T) is found only in DNA.he first three are the same as those found in DNA, but in RNA thymine is replaced by uracil as the base complementary to adenine. This base is also a pyrimidine and is very similar to thymine.
It also only involves one side of the molecule. in RNA transcription uracil is used in place of DNAs thymine. transcription is the transfer of information of DNA to RNA. transcription is the general term for the synthesis of any kind of RNA on a DNA template. once the RNA has been transcribed, the new RNA called messanger RNA, or mRNA, takes this message to the ribosome where it is translated.
