Abstract

The cyclobutane dimer photoproducts of dTpdC and dCpdT have been produced by acetophenone photosensitization and separated by reverse-phase HPLC. Each dinucleoside monophosphate was shown to produce one cis,syn isomer and two trans,syn isomers. Three of these photoproducts, namely, the cis,syn isomers of dTpdC and dCpdT and one trans,syn isomer (the syn-anti glycosidic isomer) of dTpdC were selected to study the deamination kinetics. Analysis of the pH dependence indicates that the deamination proceeds by the hydrolysis of the imido amide group of the 5,6-saturated cytosine base with the formation of a carbinolamine intermediate. Determination of the kinetic parameters showed that, for these three cyclobutane dimers, the rate-determining step at physiological pH is a cyclobutane dimers, the rate-determining step at physiological pH is a nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ion on the protonated 5,6-saturated cytosine base. The kinetic analysis showed that the cis,syn isomers deaminate approximately 3 times faster than the trans,syn isomer, which is due to a large difference in pKa of the 5,6-saturated cytosine moiety. An electrostatic interaction between the iminium group of cytosine and the carbonyl group of thymine is proposed to...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
