guanine
One of the two purine bases of double-ring structure (the other being ADENINE) which, with the PYRIMIDINE bases form the ‘rungs of the ladder’, and the genetic code, in the double helix deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule.

guanine (G)
one of four types of nitrogenous bases found in DNA, having the double-ring structure of a class known as PURINES. Guanine forms part of a DNA unit called a NUCLEOTIDE and always forms complementary pairs with a DNA pyrimidine base called CYTOSINE. Guanine also occurs in RNA molecules.Collins Dictionary of Biology, 3rd ed. © W. G. Hale, V. A. Saunders, J. P. Margham 2005
