Abstract:
Molecular topology lies at the heart of biological complexity and degree-based topological indices serve as fundamental invariants for quantifying the structural and functional organization of biomolecular systems. In this work we present a unified graph-theoretic framework for analyzing the molecular graphs of purines and pyrimidines using the Nirmala index N(G) and its two inverse variants IN1(G) and IN2(G). Here G=(V,E) denotes the molecular graph of a purine or pyrimidine molecule, where vertices V represent heavy atoms (C, N, O) and edges E correspond to covalent bonds with hydrogens omitted in accordance with standard chemical graph theory conventions. The five canonical nucleobases-Adenine and Guanine (purines) and Cytosine, Thymine and Uracil (pyrimidines)-are modeled to enable systematic comparison between these two molecular classes. Rigorous degree-based theorems are established to derive extremal bounds for the indices in terms of the minimum and maximum vertex degrees, δ(G) and Δ(G) and to demonstrate analytical duality between IN1(G) and IN2(G). Explicit computations reveal that purines exhibit greater degree heterogeneity and larger N(G) values whereas pyrimidines display higher regularity with IN1(G) and IN2(G) approaching their theoretical upper bounds. Biologically this degree-sensitive quantification captures structural asymmetry, bonding regularity and intrinsic stability across purine and pyrimidine frameworks. The proposed Nirmala-type indices thus establish a concise mathematical-biological bridge linking molecular topology to functional stability in genetic architectures offering promising applications in cheminformatics, QSAR/QSPR modeling and systems-level analysis of nucleic acids.
