You can probably tell I'm not really a chemist (hi from physics!), but I've suddenly found myself having to draw some structural formulae, hence the stupid question.
I've drawn a diagram of the four DNA bases:
I don't care what they're attached to, and I don't fancy drawing an entire DNA molecule, but I'd like to show where they bond to the rest of the nucleotide. I've used \cdots
($\cdots$) currently, but that doesn't feel right. I considered R, but I'm not sure if an entire DNA molecule really counts as an R group. I saw a wavy bond once, but it feels like those are confined to stereochemistry.
What's the convention in cases like this? (And what do I Google to find it next time I want to know?)
