I just rediscovered the word morpheme and realized that that was what I wanted to call purine here.
Purine is a chemical morpheme. Not the word purine, but the two fused rings. There are other chemical morphemes, of course, but that's what I was trying to convey back there.
When I google "chemical morpheme" I get this, which is kinda sorta what I mean.
