guanine
DNA base G
Guanine is one of the four chemical bases that make up DNA and RNA, pairing with cytosine in the double helix structure.
The letter G in genetic sequences represents guanine: The mutation replaced a guanine with an adenine.
The compound also occurs in fish scales and guano, giving certain materials an iridescent quality.
