if glucose can get a molecule catto can we see the nucleotide bases

@ciaaik has made designs for them!

Compounds are a bit weird to do these little icons for. At the bottom left of each icon are the compound's constituent elements, and on the top left are their respective numbers of atoms in the molecule.

For anyone who doesn't know who these guys are: the first four - Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine - are the building blocks of DNA and the letters of its genetic language, while the last one, Uracil, replaces Thymine in DNA's more ancient and primitive sibling RNA.

When you're a chem major, but you forget what the 4 bases of DNA are besides the abbreviations A, T, C, and G.

Missed Opportunity With Deoxys

Okay, so I know they tried with the DNA Pokémon, Deoxys, by making his forms Defense, Normal, and Attack, but... then there’s Speed and it doesn’t quite work, especially with Speed being arguably the best form, overall.

But what they could have done that had 4 forms, was this: 

Guard Form (Defense)

Accelerate Form (Speed)

Combat Form (Attack)

True Form (Normal)

Because that is a thing, significantly relevant to DNA that has 4 letters. I feel like it would’ve been a good option, instead of DNAS. Whatever, too late now.

@deoxys-propaganda, figured you may find this fun.
