Guanine in DNA is a major oxidation target owing to its low ionization potential (IP), and there is often an inverse correlation between damage frequency and sequence-dependent variation in guanine IP ...

Scientists from Fuzhou University obtained a set of nanocarbons through self-assembling guanine molecules. Besides exhibiting intriguing properties, including relatively stable surface oxygen groups ...

DNA can be used as a building block for future molecular-scale electronic circuits because it can form a variety of 3D structures and networks. Thanks to a new three-terminal electronic circuit ...

Chinese Journal of Catalysis is co-sponsored by Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Chemical Society, and it is currently published by Elsevier group. This ...

Guanine oxidation is at the heart of the cell-killing abilities of many common antibiotics, biologists at MIT and Boston University report (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1219192). The findings, if ...

For scientists attempting to understand how the building blocks of RNA originated on Earth, guanine has proven to be a particular challenge. By adding UV light to a model prebiotic reaction, ...
