Interestingly, mutations associated with human retinopathies map into the guanine nucleotide-binding sites including a previously undescribed non-canonical site and disrupt allosteric inhibition.

Guanine (G) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, along with along with adenine (A), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). It is a purine base, meaning it has a ...

Scientists have detected bits of adenine, guanine and other organic compounds in meteorites since the 1960s (SN: 8/10/11, SN: 12/4/20).Researchers have also seen hints of uracil, but cytosine and ...

Guanine, being widely present in the biogenic photonic structures of various living organisms, exhibits diverse shapes and sizes, including hexagonal plates, square plates, ...

Guanine crystals. The shape of the reflective crystals, it turns out, is an important part of natural mirrors found within scallop eyes. Scallops use mirrors instead of lenses to concentrate light ...

“The circuit element we made contains a guanine-quadruplex (G4) motif, which can be used as a connector for multi-ended DNA duplexes,” explains Nadrian Seeman of New York University in the US, who led ...

ISTOCK, BEHOLDINGEYE B ase editing is a relatively recent genome-editing technique that swaps one DNA base pair for another, offering researchers the potential to correct harmful, single-nucleotide ...
