The phrase "a thymine base on" is not correct as it is incomplete and lacks context.
It could be used in a scientific or biological context when discussing DNA or nucleotides, but it needs additional information to be meaningful.
Example: "In the DNA sequence, there is a thymine base on the complementary strand."
Alternatives: "a thymine nucleotide on" or "a thymine residue on".
Exact(1)
These bonds almost always form between an adenine base on one strand and a thymine base on the other strand, or between a cytosine base on one strand and a guanine base on the other.

In particular, most of these mutations involved a cytosine base that was preceded by a thymine base.
The authors should clarify: a potassium permanganate footprinting assay provides information about the general accessibility of a thymine base, but it does not provide information about the CarD dependent conformational differences (e.g. base flipping) of KMnO4 accessible thymine bases.
