| thymine | <biochemistry> Pyrimidine base found in DNA (in place of uracil of RNA). (18 Nov 1997) |
| thymine deoxyribonucleoside | <biochemistry> Term that is always used in practice for the nucleoside thymine deoxyriboside, not the riboside which naming of the other nucleosides might lead one to expect. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thymine deoxyribonucleotide | A component of DNA; originally and properly called thymidylic acid, but use of deoxy-is less ambiguous, as ribothymidylic acid is now known to exist. Synonym: thymine deoxyribonucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymine dimer | <molecular biology> Dimer that can be formed in DNA by covalent linkage between two adjacent (cis) thymidine residues, in response to ultraviolet irradiation. Occurrence potentially mutagenic, although repair enzymes exist that can excise thymine dimers. See: xeroderma pigmentosum. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thymine nucleotide | A major constituent of DNA. Synonym: thymidine 5'-monophosphate, thymine nucleotide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thymine nucleotides | Phosphate esters of thymidine in n-glycosidic linkage with ribose or deoxyribose, as occurs in nucleic acids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thymine, 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase | <enzyme> 5-hydroxymethyluracil,2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase was formerly EC 1.14.11.5; for this activity, substrate thymine may be replaced by uracil/analogs Chemical name: 5-hydroxymethyluracil,2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase /od/ thymine 7-hydroxylase Registry number: EC 1.14.11.6 Synonym: thymine 7-hydroxylase, alpha-ketoglutarate dioxygenase, thymine (26 Jun 1999) |
