2-Deoxy-D-ribose is used to study processes of oxidative stress and glycation in vivo and in vitro. 2-Deoxy-D-ribose, an endothelial-cell chemoattractant and angiogenesis-inducing factor, is used to study processes of tumor angiogenesis and progression mediated at the level of thymidine phosphorylase activity.

The biological activity of catechol neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the synapse is modulated by transporters and enzymes. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) inactivates neurotransmitters by catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catechols in the presence of

Relaxed force constants (RFC) and vibrational root-mean-square (VRMS) deviations are used for comparative characterization of mechanical properties of canonical 2'-deoxyribonucleosides (2DRs) and 1,2-dideoxyribose molecule, their model sugar residue. It has been shown that RFC and VRMS should be preferred over
Well-defined substrates for the study of oxidative processes are important for the elucidation of the role of DNA damage in the etiology of diseases such as cancer. We have synthesized 3'-modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) using 5'→3' 'reverse' DNA synthesis for the
The study was designed to explore the biochemical influence of non bonding nitrogen interactions (N⋯Se/S) on organochalcogens potency. Approximately five and six times higher thiol peroxidase (TPx) like activity was observed for compound (C)-2 than C-1 and C-3, respectively. C-2
Our mechanistic understanding of damage formation in DNA by the direct effect relies heavily on what is known of free radical intermediates studied by EPR spectroscopy. Bridging this information to stable product formation requires methods with comparable sensitivities, a criterion
