Investigation of Substituent Effects on the Strength of Hydrogen Bond in the Guanine: Cytosine Base Pairs: A Theoretical Study
In the present work, the substituent effect on the strength of H-bonds in the guanine – cytosine base pair was studied when the substituents are connected to the guanine base through a phenyl ring. In this study, guanine was substituted in the H8 and H9 positions by electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) groups mediated by a phenyl ring in the gas phase. The calculations were perf...
متن کاملRepair of O6-(2-chloroethyl)guanine mediates the biological effects of chloroethylnitrosoureas.
Chloroethylnitrosoureas (CENUs) are alkylating and crosslinking agents used for the treatment of human cancer; they are both mutagenic and carcinogenic. We compared the levels of induction of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and the cytotoxicity of nitrosoureas that alkylate only with CENUs. CENUs are 200-fold more cytotoxic and induce SCEs with 45-fold greater efficiency than agents that do n...
متن کاملSpecific labeling of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase by reaction with O6-(p-hydroxy[3H]methylbenzyl)guanine.
O6-Alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) is an important DNA repair protein that removes adducts from the O6 position of guanine by transferring them to a cysteine residue within its amino acid sequence. Mammalian AGTs are readily inactivated by incubation with O6-benzyl-guanine (BG), which is an alternative substrate for the protein. To examine this inactivation in more detail and to develop...
متن کاملHow to Change the Redox Potential of Guanine?
Due to some important applications of guanine electrode in scientific and technology research such as electro-chemical DNA based biosensors, and a problem of high redox potential of guanine (0.81 V), our research study concentrates on reducing guanine redox potential by substituting Cu, Ag, Au, CH3, C2H5 and Cl on sites of 1, 2 and 9 of guanine. A 5.0% reduction...
متن کاملa study on insurer solvency by panel data model: the case of iranian insurance market
the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.
