Base Analogues Definition:
Molecules that resemble normal DNA nucleotides and can substitute for them during DNA replication, leading to mutations.
Prescott's Microbiology 9th Edition by Joanne Willey, Linda Sherwood, Christopher J. Woolverton
Base Analogues Notes:
Base analogs are those molecules that have a structure similar to one of the nitrogenous bases that are used in DNA (thymine, guanine, cytosine and adenine). They have a structure that is similar to one of the nucleotides of DNA and can be used to create a new strand in semi conservative replication.
