Introduction:
There are two types of nitrogenous bases in DNA: purines and pyrimidines. Adenine and guanine are the purine bases that are double ring structures. Cytosine and thymine are the pyrimidines bases that have single ring structure. The purine bases pair with their complementary pyrimidine bases by hydrogen bonding and form a
