Yes! Purines in DNA are Adenosine (A) and Guanine (G). Pyrimidines in DNA are Cytosine (C) and Thymine). In DNA, A bonds with T using 2 H-bonds (Hydrogen bonds) and C bonds with G using 3 H-bonds.

The shape of a Purine forces in a Purine-Purine pairing for the Hydrogen molecules to be to close to one another. This leads to electrostatic repulsion forcing the pair apart.
