- Thus, purines (A and G) are about twice as wide as pyrimidines (C and T).
A purine-purine pair is too wide and a pyrimidine-pyrimidine pair too narrow to account for the 2-nm diameter
of the double helix.
Always pairing a purine with a pyrimidine, however, results in a uniform diameter:

sequences. The genome
contains ALL genetic
information.
