A white, crystalline, pyrimidine base, C5H6N2O2, contained in the nucleic acids of all tissues. It links with adenine in the DNA structure.

I like it!

The DNA nucleotide thymine is also complemented by uracil in RNA.

structural formula of thymine: 

          O        CH2
           \\     /
            C -- C
           /      \\
     H -- N        C -- H
           \      /
            C -- N
           //      
          O
See also: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

I like it! 1 C!
