Ribose supplementation alone or with elevated creatine does not preserve high energy nucleotides or cardiac function in the failing mouse heart [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Reduced levels of creatine and total adenine nucleotides (sum of ATP, ADP and AMP) are hallmarks of chronic heart failure and restoring these pools is predicted to be beneficial by maintaining the diseased heart in a more favourable energy ...

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals
Life, 2015 Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expected to play a

Adenine and Thymine Effect on Quartz Dissolution at Different Artificial Seawaters
Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry, 2018 According to Bernal (1951) minerals may have played important roles in the origin of life such as: protect biomolecules against degradation by UV radiation or hydrolysis, pre-concentrate biomolecules from prebiotic seas and formation of polymers.

Structure and stereochemistry of the base excision repair glycosylase MutY reveal a mechanism similar to retaining glycosidases. [PDF]
, 2015 MutY adenine glycosylases prevent DNA mutations by excising adenine from promutagenic 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG):A mismatches. Here, we describe structural features of the MutY active site bound to an azaribose transition state analog which indicate a

Adenine deaminase and adenine utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1992 Compared with other purine salvage and nitrogen catabolism enzymatic activities, adenine deaminase (adenine aminohydrolase [AAH]; EC 3.5.4.2) activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is uniquely regulated. AAH specific activity is not induced by adenine and is reduced sevenfold when cells are cultivated in medium containing proline in place of ammonium as ...

DGR mutagenic transposition occurs via hypermutagenic reverse transcription primed by nicked template RNA. [PDF]
, 2017 Diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) are molecular evolution machines that facilitate microbial adaptation to environmental changes. Hypervariation occurs via a mutagenic retrotransposition process from a template repeat (TR) to a variable repeat ...

Electron transfer driven decomposition of adenine and selected analogs as probed by experimental and theoretical methods [PDF]
, 2018 We report on a combined experimental and theoretical study of electron transfer induced decomposition of adenine and a selection of analogue molecules in collisions with potassium atoms (K).

A dual-deaminase CRISPR base editor enables concurrent adenine and cytosine editing
Nature Biotechnology, 2020 Existing adenine and cytosine base editors induce only a single type of modification, limiting the range of DNA alterations that can be created. Here we describe a CRISPR–Cas9-based synchronous programmable adenine and cytosine editor (SPACE) that can ...
