A hydrogen bond acceptor is indicated by

A

(it is an atom with a lone pair); a hydrogen bond donor is

indicated by

D

(it is an atom with a hydrogen attached to a nitrogen).

The

A

and

D

designations show that the maximum number of hydrogen bonds that can form are two

between thymine and adenine and three between cytosine and guanine. Notice that uracil and thymine have

the same

A

and

D

designations.
