Guanosine is a purine nucleoside that exhibits important functions in cell metabolism. It has also shown neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects in glial cells, hippocampal neurons, and pheochromocytoma cells by inducing proliferation and differentiation and also exerting anti-apoptotic effects. Guanosine acts as a therapeutic agent against several neuropathologies. It exerts its effects against sepsis-induced cognitive impairment, hepatic encephalopathy, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation, ischemic injury, and azide-induced oxidative damage. Guanosine is suitable for use in cell culture applications as a precursor of guanosine monophosphate (GMP), guanosine diphosphate (GDP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP), and cyclic GMP (cGMP).

Nature's use of a simple genetic code to enable life's complex functions is an inspiration for supramolecular chemistry. DNA nucleobases carry the key information utilizing a variety of cooperative and non-covalent interactions such as hydrophobic, van der Waals, pi-pi stacking

Novel square-planar palladium(II) complexes with O-N-N-O-type ligands H4mda (H4mda=malamido-N,N'-diacetic acid) and H4obp (H4obp=oxamido-N,N'-di-3-propionic acid) were prepared and characterized. The ligands coordinate to the palladium(II) ion via two pairs of deprotonated ligating atoms with square chelation. A four coordinate, square-planar geometry
Immune sensing of DNA is critical for antiviral immunity but can also trigger autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus (LE). Here we have provided evidence for the involvement of a damage-associated DNA modification in the detection of cytosolic DNA. The oxidized base

Although the major events in prokaryotic cell cycle progression are likely to be coordinated with transcriptional and metabolic changes, these processes remain poorly characterized. Unlike many rapidly growing bacteria, DNA replication and cell division are temporally resolved in mycobacteria, making

The 7mG (7-methylguanosine cap) formed on mRNA is fundamental to eukaryotic gene expression. Protein complexes recruited to 7mG mediate key processing events throughout the lifetime of the transcript. One of the most important mediators of 7mG functions is CBC (cap-binding
