Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (Nature, April 25, 1953. volume 171:737-738.) The novel feature of the structure is the manner in which the two chains are held together by the purine and pyrimidine bases... The (bases) are joined together in pairs, a single base from one chain being hydrogen-bonded to a single base from the other chain, so that the two lie side by side...One of the pair must be a purine and the other a pyrimidine for bonding to occur. ...Only specific pairs of bases can bond together. These pairs are: adenine (purine) with thym
