Layman's explanation:	Thymidine is an organic base of the pyrimidine family. Thymidine is significant because of its involvement in the biosynthesis of DNA and in the preservation and transfer of genetic information. This nucleic acid base is present in all cells of the human body. Thymidine is a pyrimidine or a two ring structure that hydrogen bonds to a purine to complete a stable structure. A carbon sugar ring attaches to nitrogen in the base to form an N-glycosylic bond. The nitrogenous bases, which are primarily nonpolar, pack tightly enough to exclude water and form a stable, primarily nonpolar environment in the helix interior.
