Biology: nucleobase in the context of DNA or RNA. Wiktionary (translation)
The base of a nucleic acid, such as thymine, uracil, adenine, cytosine and guanine. Wiktionary
The monomer constituting DNA or RNA biopolymer molecules. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous heterocyclic base (or nucleobase), which can be either a double-ringed purine or a single-ringed pyrimidine; a five-carbon pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA); and a phosphate group.
