Marine Nucleosides: Structure, Bioactivity, Synthesis and Biosynthesis
Nucleosides are glycosylamines that structurally form part of nucleotide molecules, the building block of DNA and RNA. Both nucleosides and nucleotides are vital components of all living cells and involved in several key biological processes.

Bacteria-specific modified nucleoside is released and elevated in urine of patients with bacterial infections [PDF]
Over 170 types of chemical modifications have been identified in cellular RNAs across the three domains of life. Modified RNA is eventually degraded to constituent nucleosides, and in mammals, modified nucleosides are released into the extracellular ...

Urinary nucleosides as biomarkers of breast, colon, lung, and gastric cancer in Taiwanese.
Urinary nucleosides are associated with many types of cancer. In this study, six targeted urinary nucleosides, namely adenosine, cytidine, 3-methylcytidine, 1-methyladenosine, inosine, and 2-deoxyguanosine, were chosen to evaluate their role as ...

Strained Conformations of Nucleosides in Active Sites of Nucleoside Phosphorylases [PDF]
Nucleoside phosphorylases catalyze the reversible phosphorolysis of nucleosides to heterocyclic bases, giving α-d-ribose-1-phosphate or α-d-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate. These enzymes are involved in salvage pathways of nucleoside biosynthesis. The level of

Interaction of Nucleosides and Related Compounds with Nucleic Acids as Indicated by the Change of Helix-Coil Transition Temperature [PDF]
A series of compounds has been tested for effectiveness in lowering the melting temperature of poly A and of thymus DNA. The order of increasing activity was found to be: adonitol, methyl riboside (both negligible) < cyclohexanol < phenol, pyrimidine ...

Nucleoside Triphosphate-Nucleoside Diphosphate Transphosphorylase (Nucleoside Diphosphokinase)
Abstract Previous physical studies from this laboratory by sedimentation velocity and diffusion and by sedimentation equilibrium (Yue, R. H., Ratliff, R. L., and Kuby, S. A. (1967) Biochemistry 6, 2923–2932) have permitted an assignment of the kinetic molecular weight of the crystalline brewers' yeast nucleoside diphosphokinase, namely 102,000 (±2,000)
