Ultrafast Photo-Ion Probing of the Relaxation Dynamics in 2-Thiouracil

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
In this work, we investigate the relaxation processes of 2-thiouracil after UV photoexcitation to the S2 state through the use of ultrafast, single-colour, pump-probe UV/UV spectroscopy. We place focus on investigating the appearance and subsequent decay

Threshold behavior in metastable dissociation of multi-photon ionized thymine and uracil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Microsecond-timescale HNCO loss has been observed from single-color multi-photon ionized pyrimidine nucleobases in the gas phase. Photon energy thresholds for the metastable channels have been measured at 5.55 ± 0.02 eV for thymine and 5.57 ± 0.02 eV for

Folate deficiency causes uracil misincorporation into human DNA and chromosome breakage: implications for cancer and neuronal damage.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997
Folate deficiency causes massive incorporation of uracil into human DNA (4 million per cell) and chromosome breaks. The likely mechanism is the deficient methylation of dUMP to dTMP and subsequent incorporation of uracil into DNA by DNA polymerase ...

ABHD5 blunts the sensitivity of colorectal cancer to fluorouracil via promoting autophagic uracil yield

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The efficacy of Fluorouracil (FU) in the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) is greatly limited by drug resistance. Autophagy has been implicated in chemoresistance, but the role of selective autophagic degradation in regulating chemoresistance remains ...

Adsorption of Nucleic Acid Bases, Ribose, and Phosphate by Some Clay Minerals

open access: yesLife, 2015
Besides having a large capacity for taking up organic molecules, clay minerals can catalyze a variety of organic reactions. Derived from rock weathering, clay minerals would have been abundant in the early Earth. As such, they might be expected to play a

Structure of isolated biomolecules by electron diffraction-laser desorption: uracil and guanine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report the structure of isolated biomolecules, uracil and guanine, demonstrating the capability of a newly developed electron diffraction apparatus augmented with surface-assisted IR laser desorption.

Functional and genetic evidence that nucleoside transport is highly conserved in Leishmania species: Implications for pyrimidine-based chemotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Leishmania pyrimidine salvage is replete with opportunities for therapeutic intervention with enzyme inhibitors or antimetabolites. Their uptake into cells depends upon specific transporters; therefore it is essential to establish whether various ...

Surface-Enhanced Hyper-Raman Spectra of Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Uracil

open access: yesThe journal of physical chemistry. C, Nanomaterials and interfaces, 2016
Using picosecond excitation at 1064 nm, surface-enhanced hyper-Raman scattering (SEHRS) spectra of the nucleobases adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil with two different types of silver nanoparticles were obtained. Comparing the SEHRS spectra

Cytosine-to-Uracil Deamination by SssI DNA Methyltransferase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The prokaryotic DNA(cytosine-5)methyltransferase M.SssI shares the specificity of eukaryotic DNA methyltransferases (CG) and is an important model and experimental tool in the study of eukaryotic DNA methylation.

Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed dehydrogenative C–H activation: An expedient synthesis of uracil-annulated β-carbolinones

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2015
An intramolecular dehydrogenative C–H activation enabled an efficient synthesis of an uracil-annulated β-carbolinone ring system. The reaction is simple, efficient and high yielding (85–92%).
