"In FLT PET imaging, a radiopharmaceutical similar in chemical composition to the nucleoside deoxythymidine is used, to which a hydroxyl group is replaced with a radioactive fluorine atom: [18F] -FLT 2,3. The radiopharmaceutical, phosphorylated by thymidine kinase, is incorporated into the DNA 7; as a proliferation marker, it finds its best use in oncological diagnostics 3."

Line 14:200 · Write the isotope as symbol-mass, e.g. F-18, not '18F'.

"Nucleotides, the constituent units of nucleic acids, are made up of simpler molecules called nucleosides and inorganic phosphate (H3PO4). Each nucleoside, in turn, is made up of a monosaccharide (D-ribose in RNA and 2-deoxy-D-ribose in DNA) and a heterocyclic base 4."

"Heterocyclic bases, also known as nitrogenous bases, are divided into two main classes: purines and pyrimidines. Adenine (A) and guanine (G) belong to the purines; cytosine (C) and thymine (T) (replaced by uracil (U) in RNA) conversely belong to the pyrimidines 4."
