- A base containing nitrogen that is found in RNA (but not in DNA) and derived from pyrimidine; pairs with adenine
- Uracil is a common and naturally occurring pyrimidine derivative.Garrett, Reginald H.; Grisham, Charles M. Principals of Biochemistry with a Human Focus. United States: Brooks/Cole Thomson Learning, 1997. ...
- One of the bases of RNA. It pairs with adenine and is symbolised by U
- A nitrogen-containing, single-ring, basic pyrimidine that occurs in nucleotides of RNA. The other pyrimidine in RNA is cytosine. Uracil is able to form a base pair A-U (adenine-uracil).
- The pyrimidine that replaces thymine in RNA molecules and nucleotides.
- One of the four types of 'base' used to encode information in RNA. When a base is attached to a phosphate and sugar, it makes up a nucleotide, one of RNA's (and DNA's) 'building blocks'. RNA uses the three standard bases of A, C, G, but substitutes U for T. ...
- One of the bases in RNA. In the synthesis of mRNA from DNA, uracil substitutes for thymine.
- One of the bases. It contains nitrogen, and it participates in the formation of the nucleic acid RNA in animal and plant cells in place of thymine. It is often abbreviated to U.
- A base; one of the molecular c omponents of RNA. Bonds only with adenine (U-A).
