The Two Faces of the Guanyl Radical: Molecular Context and Behavior
Molecules, 2021 The guanyl radical or neutral guanine radical G(-H)• results from the loss of a hydrogen atom (H•) or an electron/proton (e–/H+) couple from the guanine structures (G). The guanyl radical exists in two tautomeric forms.
