Nitrogen heterocycles form peptide nucleic acid precursors in complex prebiotic mixtures. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 The ability to store information is believed to have been crucial for the origin and evolution of life; however, little is known about the genetic polymers relevant to abiogenesis.

Decoding Mycoplasma Nucleases: Biological Functions and Pathogenesis. [PDF]
Toxins (Basel)Nucleases are critical metabolic enzymes expressed by mycoplasmas to acquire nucleic acid precursors from the host for their parasitic existence. Certain nucleases, either membrane-bound or secreted, not only contribute to the growth of mycoplasmas but ...

Incorporation of Labeled Nucleic Acid and Protein Precursors by Diapausing and Nondiapausing Blastocysts1, 2 [PDF]
Biology of Reproduction, 1969 precursors RNA proteins delayed implantation. These exceriments reveal the absence of labeled thymine incorpo- ration by diapausing blastocysts from mink, fur seal, and lactating rat, although thymine is incorporated by ...

Uptake of amino acids and nucleic acid precursors by regenerating rat liver [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1972 1. At 0.5-1.0h after partial hepatectomy the intracellular acid-soluble fraction of rat liver took up twice as much radioactivity from [(3)H]orotic acid, [(3)H]uridine and [(3)H]thymidine as did similar fractions from sham-operated animals. This increase

Photochemical synthesis of natural lipids in artificial and living cells [PDF]
Nat CommunLipid synthesis plays a central role in cell structure, signaling, and metabolism. A general method for the abiogenesis of natural lipids could transform the development of lifelike artificial cells and unlock new ways to explore lipid functions in ...

Antagonistic Effect of Nucleic Acid Precursors on the Anticoccidial Activity of 6-Azauracil.
Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1996 The antagonistic phenomena to anticoccidial activities of 6-azauracil (AzU) induced by certain nucleic acid precursors were examined in battery experiments. Each nucleic acid precursor, orotate, orotidine, uracil, uridine, adenine and adenosine was mixed

Viability of Stored Pollen Grains ofMalus DomesticaBorkh as Evaluated by the Incorporation of Labelled Nucleic Acid Precursors [PDF]
, 1984 SUMMARYViability of stored pollen grains of Malus domestica Borkh, cultivars «Golden Delicious» and «Starkrimson», is expressed as: 1) percentage of labelled generative and vegetative cells after feeding with 3H-thymidine and 3H-uridine; 2) percentage of
