Chargaff's Rule

The observation that DNA from any cell of all organisms has a 1:1 ratio of pyrimidine and purine bases; specifically, adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Adenine

One of the four nucleobase molecules used in forming nucleotides of the nucleic acids DNA and RNA; it pairs with thymine in DNA and with uracil in RNA.
