For DNA, those bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. A and G are classified as purines, while C and T are classified as pyrimidines. As long as we’re naming things, notice “deoxyribose” and “ribose”. As the name implies, deoxyribose is just a ribose without an oxygen. More specifically, where there is a hydroxyl group attached to the 2-carbon of ribose, there is only a hydrogen attached to the 2-carbon of deoxyribose.

Joining of carbamoyl phosphate to aspartic acid (forming carbamoyl aspartate) is catalyzed by the most important regulatory enzyme of the cycle, aspartate transcarbamoylase (also called aspartate carbamoyltransferase or ATCase).
