Primes

• Complementarity
  • In biochemistry and molecular biology, Watson–Crick base-pairing pairs adenine with thymine and guanine with cytosine; antibody paratopes are shape-complementary to antigen epitopes, and enzyme active sites to their substrates.

    This sourceDescribes the DNA double helix with complementary base pairing (A–T, G–C), where each strand is the reverse complement of the other and templates replication. (
