Fluorescent nucleobases are chemically modified DNA and RNA analogues that not only retain their chemical and biological functionalities, such as stacking, base pairing and enzyme incorporation, but ...

Researchers from Japan enhanced the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by modifying platinum cathodes with purine bases. The purine molecules form hydrogen-bonded cages with surrounding water, which ...

Single crystals of 2-thiouracil were irradiated and studied at 77 K by electron-spin resonance spectroscopy. The dominant radical trapped exhibits a resonance pattern consisting of a doublet of ...

The discovery of Hoogsteen base pairs, an alternative pairing mode to the canonical Watson–Crick structure, has significantly broadened our understanding of DNA dynamics. This conformation, in which ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...
