The bases - the letters of the genetic alphabet - consist of the four nucleotides mentioned a page or two back: adenine, thiamine, guanine, and cytosine.
For example, you convert formaldehyde into a compound called formate, which helps make the nucleic acids adenine and guanine — two of the four building blocks of DNA.
Nucleotides of DNA are made out of a sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate, and one of the four nuclear bases: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine or A, C, G, T for short.

You may be more familiar with its role in DNA, but crystalline guanine is also a highly reflective material that can be seen everywhere in nature, from fish scales to chameleon skin.
It's composed of long strands of nucleotides, each made up of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).
