Biogenic Guanine Crystals Are Solid Solutions of Guanine and Other Purine Metabolites

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2022
Highly reflective crystals of the nucleotide base guanine are widely distributed in animal coloration and visual systems. Organisms precisely control the morphology and organization of the crystals to optimize different optical effects, but little is ...

Guanine-vacancy–bearing G-quadruplexes responsive to guanine derivatives [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance Guanine-rich nucleic acids fold into a four-stranded structure named G-quadruplex that has implications in essential cellular processes, pharmaceutical applications, and nanodevices. We found a unique type of G-quadruplex that contains a G-vacancy and is stabilized by guanine derivatives such as te physiological concentration of ...

Generation, repair and replication of guanine oxidation products

open access: yesGenes and Environment, 2017
Guanine is the most readily oxidized of the four DNA bases, and guanine oxidation products cause G:C-T:A and G:C-C:G transversions through DNA replication.

Underlying charge-transfer mechanism of visible light emission in guanine crystals [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Biogenic guanine crystals found in various aquatic and terrestrial animals, show unique optical properties that include structural coloration as well as reflectance and have intrigued researchers for over a century.

Detection of Pathogens and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes at Low Concentration via Electrochemical Oligonucleotide Tags

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Pathogens can be detected electrochemically by measuring guanine oxidation signals generated from RNA or DNA hybridized to a biosensor working electrode. However, the associated limit of detection (LOD) is not sufficiently low for widespread clinical use.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Guanine Complexes of Pt(IV) and Pd(II) by X-ray Diffraction and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

open access: yesCrystals, 2021
The aim of the work was to synthesize new perspective compounds of palladium and platinum with nitrogenous bases (guanine), promising for use in biomedicine and catalysis. The article describes the synthesis of new [PdCl2(HGua)2]Cl2·H2O and [PtCl5(HGua)]·

Investigating the Role of Guanosine on Human Neuroblastoma Cell Differentiation and the Underlying Molecular Mechanisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Neuroblastoma arises from neural crest cell precursors failing to complete the process of differentiation. Thus, agents helping tumor cells to differentiate into normal cells can represent a valid therapeutic strategy.

Diversity of Parallel Guanine Quadruplexes Induced by Guanine Substitutions [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Recently, we reported an inhibitory effect of guanine substitutions on the conformational switch from antiparallel to parallel quadruplexes (G4) induced by dehydrating agents. As a possible cause, we proposed a difference in the sensitivity of parallel and antiparallel quadruplexes to the guanine substitutions in the resulting thermodynamic stability ...
