Draw Hydrogen Bonds Thymine Adenine

How to draw the hydrogen bond between thymine and adenine
If you want to draw the hydrogen bond between thymine and adenine, you need to understand the structure of the two. Thymine has ketone and amino groups, and adenine contains amino and imino groups.

The two are connected by hydrogen bonds, and the formation of hydrogen bonds is based on the interaction of specific atoms in the two structures. The ketone oxygen atom of thymine forms a hydrogen bond with the amino hydrogen atom of adenine, and the amino hydrogen atom of thymine also forms a hydrogen bond with the imino nitrogen atom of adenine.

When drawing, the structure of thymine and adenine is first refined, and its outline is outlined with clear lines to highlight the position of each atom. The hydrogen bond is accurately represented by a dashed line. One end of the dashed line is connected to thymine ketoyl oxygen or amino hydrogen, and the other end is connected to the corresponding hydrogen or nitrogen atom of adenine. In this way, an accurate diagram of the hydrogen bond between the two can be obtained, and the interaction state can be clearly displayed.
