Purine Chemistry in the Early RNA World at the Origins of Life: From RNA and Nucleobases Lesions to Current Key Metabolic Routes. [PDF]
In the nascent processes of the beginnings and evolution of life, nucleobases and especially purines, ribonucleos(t)ides and primitive RNAs have been continuously modified. A RNA‐peptide world and key metabolic pathways probably have emerged from the corresponding chemical modifications resulting from adenine deamination, purine alkylation and ...

Deoxyribo‐ and Ribonucleoside H‐Phosphonates [PDF]
AbstractMost methods for preparing H‐phosphonate monoesters suffer from variable yields and are often incompatible with common protecting groups used in oligonucleotide synthesis. This unit describes four procedures that consistently give high yields of the desired products.

Reversal of methylmercaptopurine ribonucleoside cytotoxicity by purine ribonucleosides and adenine [PDF]
6-Methylmercaptopurine ribonucleoside-5'-phosphate (MeSPuRMP), the sole metabolite of 6-methylmercaptopurine ribonucleoside (MeSPuRib), is a strong inhibitor of purine de novo synthesis, inducing depletion of intracellular purine nucleotides and subsequent cell death in several tumor cell lines.

Nucleobase Protection of Deoxyribo‐ and Ribonucleosides [PDF]
AbstractProtecting groups for the imide/lactam function of thymine/uracil and guanine, respectively, prevent irreversible nucleobase modifications that may occur in the presence of alkylating or condensing reagents that are commonly used in nucleoside protection and oligonucleotide synthesis.

Photoactivatable ribonucleosides mark base-specific RNA-binding sites
RNA-protein interactions play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Here the authors demonstrate pRBS-ID, an updated MS/MS-based method that combines the benefits of photoactivatable ribonucleosides and the chemical cleavage of RNA.

Abstract Malaria is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes.
