Geocache Description:


Welcome to Thymine

Thymine is one of 4 bases that make up the DNA and RNA code.  Thymine is held in place along the DNA polymer through its attachment to the strucural phosphate backbone. Thymine forms 2 hydrogen bonds with Adenine, acting as one of the 4 most important molecules in existence. 

This geocache is a part of a competition between 7thgraders at Loveland classical school.  We have been learning how to transcribe and translate the code into the proteins that do the work in our cells. We get points for you finding our cache, and even more points if you LOG PHOTOS.... PRETTY PLEASE. The winning class wins an epic donut part!

This Geocache was created and is maintained by Stanley Polley, a Science teacher at Loveland Classical Schools.
