Ab initio calculations and time-resolved photoionization spectroscopy were carried out to characterize the role of the lowest two πσ* excited states for the photoinduced processes in the adenine monomer, adenine dimer, and adenine–water clusters. The calculations show—with respect to the monomer—a stabilization of 0.11–0.14 eV for the πσ* states in ...

Raman Analysis of RNA Nucleotide Strands From SARS-CoV-2 Variants and Subvariants: A Step Forward in the Definition of "Raman Genome". [PDF]
Main Raman signals in RNA, related to helical backbone, ribofuranose ring, and nitrogenous bases, are affected by secondary structures that cause hyperchromic effects and significantly alter the Raman intensity. ABSTRACT Raman spectra of RNA nucleotide strands extracted from 20 SARS‐CoV‐2 strains, including the original Japanese isolate, Alpha, Beta ...

Trypanosoma brucei adenine-phosphoribosyltransferases mediate adenine salvage and aminopurinol susceptibility but not adenine toxicity [PDF]
African trypanosomes, like all obligate parasitic protozoa, cannot synthesize purines de novo and import purines from their hosts to build nucleic acids. The purine salvage pathways of Trypanosoma brucei being redundant, none of the involved enzymes is likely to be essential.

Preorganized Internal Electric Field Promotes a Double-displacement Mechanism for the Adenine Excision Reaction by Adenine DNA Glycosylase [PDF]
Adenine DNA glycosylase (MutY) is a monofunctional glycosylase, removing adenines (A) misinserted opposite 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), a common product of oxidative damage to DNA.

Adenine Nucleotide and Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Measurements in Plants [PDF]
AbstractAs the principal co‐factors of many metabolic pathways, the measurement of both adenine nucleotides and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide provides important information about cellular energy metabolism. However, given their rapid and reversible conversion as well as their relatively low concentration ranges, it is difficult to measure these ...

Tautomerisation Mechanisms in the Adenine-Thymine Nucleobase Pair During DNA Strand Separation [PDF]
The adenine-thymine tautomer (A*-T*) has previously been discounted as a spontaneous mutagenesis mechanism due to the energetic instability of the tautomeric configuration.

Adenine-Induced Nephropathy Reduces Atherosclerosis in ApoE Knockout Mice [PDF]
Background: Cardiovascular events are the main cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease. We hypothesize that the protective effects of renal cholesterol and vitamin D(3) metabolism are lost under this condition.

Synthesis of purines and adenines containing the hexafluoroisopropyl group
Several new derivatives of adenine, purine, and theophylline containing the (CF3)2CH group connected to a nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring were prepared by the reaction of 2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dithietane (1) with the corresponding ...
