Towards RNA life on Early Earth: From atmospheric HCN to biomolecule production in warm little ponds [PDF]
The origin of life on Earth involves the early appearance of an information-containing molecule such as RNA. The basic building blocks of RNA could have been delivered by carbon-rich meteorites, or produced in situ by processes beginning with the synthesis of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the early Earth's atmosphere.

Water dimer driven DNA base superstructure with mismatched hydrogen-bonding [PDF]
The existence of water dimers in equilibrium water vapor at room temperature and their anomalous properties revealed by recent studies suggest the benchmark role of water dimer in both experiment and theory. However, there has been a limited observation of individual water dimers due to the challenge of water separation and generation at the single ...

Conformationally Restricted Adenine Nucleotide Analogs in Mitochondrial Adenine Nucleotide Transport
Abstract The conformationally restricted adenine nucleotide analogs 8,3′anhydro-8-oxy-9-(β-ᴅ-xylofurano-syl) adenine-5′-O-tri (di) -phosphate (I) , and 8,2′-anhydro-8-oxy-9-(β-ᴅ-arabinofuranosyl) adenine-5′-O-tri (di)-phosphate (II), were prepared chemically as their α-32P-labelled compounds and compared with syn-structured 8-bromo AT(D)

Trinitrophenyl derivatives of adenine nucleotides are widely used for probing ATP-binding sites. Here we describe crystal structures of Ca2+-ATPase, a representative P-type ATPase, in the absence of Ca2+ with bound ATP, trinitrophenyl-ATP, -ADP, and -AMP

The giant mottled eel is a species with high commercial value so overfishing, river management, and water pollution have negatively affected its movement and population numbers. Anguilla marmorata (eel) was listed in the Vietnam Red Data Book 2007 with a

Vibrational Investigation of Nucleobases by Means of Divide and Conquer Semiclassical Dynamics [PDF]
In this work we report a computational study of the vibrational features of four different nucleobases employing the divide-and-conquer semiclassical initial value representation molecular dynamics method. Calculations are performed on uracil, cytosine, thymine, and adenine.

Distributions of Bubble Lifetimes and Bubble Lengths in DNA [PDF]
We investigate the distribution of bubble lifetimes and bubble lengths in DNA at physiological temperature, by performing extensive molecular dynamics simulations with the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois (PBD) model, as well as an extended version (ePBD) having a sequence-dependent stacking interaction, emphasizing the effect of the sequences' guanine-cytosine (

Raman depolarization ratios in RNA and DNA are sensitive for sugar-base coupling [PDF]
Polarized and depolarized Raman spectra are obtained for a number of synthetic polynucleotides containing adenine, uracil, and thymine bases. The depolarization ratios are determined by two methods: (1) by dividing the -spectrum by the -spectrum and (2 ...

Metabolic engineering of the purine biosynthetic pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum results in increased intracellular pool sizes of IMP and hypoxanthine [PDF]
Background: Purine nucleotides exhibit various functions in cellular metabolism. Besides serving as building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis, they participate in signaling pathways and energy metabolism.
