Nitrogen heterocycles form peptide nucleic acid precursors in complex prebiotic mixtures [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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.

Selected Nucleic Acid Precursors in Studies of Aquatic Microbial Ecology [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1982 The use of radiolabeled nucleosides and nucleic acid bases to estimate the rates of RNA and DNA synthesis in naturally occurring microbial assemblages requires numerous assumptions, several of which are evaluated herein. Comparative time series analyses of the uptake and incorporation, labeling specificity, and extent of catabolism of [2-

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 [3H]orotic acid, [3H]uridine and [3H]thymidine as did similar fractions from sham-operated animals. This increase in penetration was not prevented by adrenalectomy or actinomycin, both of which decreased precursor ...

A second pathway to degrade pyrimidine nucleic acid precursors in eukaryotes.
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008 Pyrimidine bases are the central precursors for RNA and DNA, and their intracellular pools are determined by de novo, salvage and catabolic pathways. In eukaryotes, degradation of uracil has been believed to proceed only via the reduction to dihydrouracil.

Photochemical synthesis of natural lipids in artificial and living cells [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsLipid 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 ...

Polyamines and nucleic acid metabolism in chick embryo. Incorporation of labelled precursors into nucleic acids of subcellular fractions and polyribosomal patterns. [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1968 1. An increase in polyamine concentration, caused by inhibiting the amine oxidase activities with iproniazid, increased the incorporation of [3H]orotic acid into chick-embryo RNA and DNA. On the other hand, a decrease in polyamine concentration, obtained by causing an increase in amine oxidase activities, decreased [3H]orotic acid incorporation into ...
