Uracil is a pyrimidine derivative. Uracil, a nitrogenous base, is a component of RNA. It serves as a structural analog to thymine, a pyrimidine base in DNA. Uracil plays a vital role in numerous biochemical processes within the cell, including nucleic acid synthesis, DNA repair, and gene expression.
