What a nail biter.

I'm cytosine. It kind of pulls the whole room together.

Thymine: tasty
Guanine: not tasty
Adenine: nasal

@evan I like having an opportunity to baldly celebrate the elitism of Thiamine which will not talk to those RNA molecules.

@evan ugh I can’t stand people whose favorite nucleotide is adenine

Adenine has so many more uses. Even though the others make cute letters. The fact that it is in NADH. NADPH, and ATP make it just the creme de la creme of nucleotides.

And the double rings. Love 'em.
I know Guanine has it too, but GTP ... well, it just doesn't quite measure up, if you know what I mean.

And the way ATP can bind to both Thiamine and Uracil makes it kinda Bi.

Probably more than you bargained for with this question, but I did put Likes DNA in my profile, so go figure. 😝

@Rozzychan this is exactly what I was hoping for, thanks!

@evan cytosine because cyan 🩵
thymine should be purple like thyme
adenine should be more like royal blue
and guanine should probably be yellow

pretty sure this is not a color coding anyone uses 😂

@evan Thymine because it was so unfair how they sacked it and hired Uracil as the drummer when they got a record deal

@ianholmes untrue! Thymine quit to become a painter.

Guanine because guano.
