The Enzymatic Conversion of Uracil 5-Carboxylic Acid to Uracil and Carbon Dioxide
The enzymatic decarboxylation of uracil 5-carboxylic acid has been demonstrated. A partially purified enzyme preparation has been obtained from Neurospora crassa which stoichiometrically converts uracil 5-carboxylic acid to uracil and carbon dioxide. No cofactor requirement for uracil 5-carboxylic acid decarboxylase activity was detected.

Tautomerism of uracil probed via IR spectroscopy of singly hydrated uracil. [PDF]
Tautomerism of the nucleobase uracil is characterized in the gas phase through IR photodissociation spectroscopy of singly hydrated protonated uracil created with tandem mass spectrometric methods in a commercially available Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer.

From the Wobble to Reliable Hypothesis [PDF]
A simple explanation for the symmetry and degeneracy of the genetic code has been suggested. An alternative to the wobble hypothesis has been proposed. This hypothesis offers explanations for: i) the difference between thymine and uracil, ii) encoding of tryptophan by only one codon, iii) why E.

Thymine and Uracil Metabolism in the Epidermis*
As compared with the viable epidermis, the stratum corneum contains very small amounts of both DNA and RNA (1, 2, 3, 4). This decrease in nucleic acid content is correlated with the disappearance of nuclei and ribosomes which occurs at the junction of the granular layer and stratum corneum.

Electron Attachment to DNA and RNA Nucleobases: An EOMCC Investigation [PDF]
We report a benchmark theoretical investigation of both adiabatic and vertical electron affinities of five DNA and RNA nucleobases: adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil using state-of-the-art equation of motion coupled cluster (EOMCC) method.
