Nitrogenous Base Chemical Structure

Vocabulary flashcards covering the chemical structure of the bicyclic purine base Guanine (2 kruhy) and its functional groups.

Guanine (2 Kruhy Structure)

A bicyclic purine base composed of a two-ring core (2 kruhy) with nitrogen atoms (N, NH), a carbonyl oxygen ($\text{O}$), and an amino group ($\text{NH}_2$).

2 Kruhy
