Back-electron transfer suppresses the periodic length dependence of DNA-mediated charge transport across adenine tracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
DNA-mediated charge transport (CT) is exquisitely sensitive to the integrity of the bridging π-stack and is characterized by a shallow distance dependence. These properties are obscured by poor coupling between the donor/acceptor pair and the DNA bridge,

Platinum Compound on Gold–Magnesia Hybrid Structure: A Theoretical Investigation on Adsorption, Hydrolysis, and Interaction with DNA Purine Bases

open access: yesNanomaterials
Cisplatin-based platinum compounds are important clinical chemotherapeutic agents that participate in most tumor chemotherapy regimens. Through density-functional theory calculations, the formation and stability of the inorganic oxide carrier, the ...

Long-term Nucleotide Analogue Treatment Has Higher Levels of Renal Toxicities than Does Entecavir in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B

open access: yesGut and Liver, 2020
Background/Aims: Renal toxicity is a concern in patients with chronic hepatitis B taking nucleotide analogues, such as adefovir (ADV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).

G-quartet biomolecular nanowires

open access: yes, 2002
We present a first-principle investigation of quadruple helix nanowires, consisting of stacked planar hydrogen-bonded guanine tetramers. Our results show that long wires form and are stable in potassium-rich conditions.

Molecular mechanism of Gαi activation by non-GPCR proteins with a Gα-Binding and Activating motif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Heterotrimeric G proteins are quintessential signalling switches activated by nucleotide exchange on Gα. Although activation is predominantly carried out by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), non-receptor guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) have

The role of alkali metal cations in the stabilization of guanine quadruplexes: why K(+) is the best.

open access: yesPhysical Chemistry, Chemical Physics - PCCP, 2016
The alkali metal ion affinity of guanine quadruplexes has been studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D). We have done computational investigations in aqueous solution that mimics artificial supramolecular conditions where ...

N-Edited Guanine Isosteres

open access: yesThe Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2023
Guanine is one out of five endogenous nucleobases and of key interest in drug discovery and chemical biology. Hitherto, the synthesis of guanine derivatives involves lengthy multistep sequential synthesis of low overall diversity, resulting in the quest for innovation. Using a "single-atom skeletal editing" approach, we designed 2-aminoimidazo[2,1-f][1,

Synergistic Regulation of Pigment Cell Precursors’ Differentiation and Migration by ednrb1a and ednrb2 in Nile Tilapia

open access: yesCells
The evolutionary loss of ednrb2 in specific vertebrate lineages, such as mammals and cypriniform fish, raises fundamental questions about its functional necessity and potential redundancy or synergy with paralogous endothelin receptors in pigment cell ...

Application of Ammonium Persulfate for Selective Oxidation of Guanines for Nucleic Acid Sequencing

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
Nucleic acids can be sequenced by a chemical procedure that partially damages the nucleotide positions at their base repetition. Many methods have been reported for the selective recognition of guanine.

Guanine crystal formation by bacteria

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2023
Background Guanine crystals are organic biogenic crystals found in many organisms. Due to their exceptionally high refractive index, they contribute to structural color and are responsible for the reflective effect in the skin and visual organs in ...
