Mnemonics for Nucleotides
Pyrimidines nucleotides
CUT the PY (cut the pie):
Cytosine Uracil Thiamine are the PYrimidines
Nucleotides: class having the single ring·
Pyrimadines are CUT from purines
· Pyrimidines are: Cytosine Uracil Thiamine They are cut from purines so the pyrimadines must be smaller (one ring).
Nucleotides: purines vs. pyrimidines
Guardian Angels are Pure, with two Wings: G and A are Purines, with two Rings.
Nucleotides: purines
AGUA PURa: Adenine and GUAnine are PURines.
· Agua pura is spanish for pure water.
Nucleotides: which are purines
Pure Silver:
· Chemical formula of Pure silver is Ag. Therefore, Purines are Adenine and Guanine.
Nucleotides: double vs. triple bonded basepairs
TU bonds (two bonds):
T-A and U-A have Two bonds. G-C therefore has the three bonds
