Isocytosine (2-aminouracil) is an isomer of cytosine used in physical chemical studies involving metal complex binding, hydrogen-bonding, and tautomerism and proton transfer effects in nucleobases.
Isocytosine (ICH) exists in solution as two major tautomers, the keto form with N1 carrying a proton (1a) and the keto form with N3 being protonated (1b). In water, 1a and 1b exist in equilibrium with almost equal amounts of
Isoguanine (2-hydroxyladenine) is a product of oxidative damage to DNA and has been shown to cause mutation. It is also a potent inducer of parallel-stranded DNA duplex structure. The structure of the parallel-stranded DNA duplex (PS-duplex) 5'-d(TiGiCAiCiGiGAiCT) + 5'-d(ACGTGCCTGA), containing
Synthetic biology based on a six-letter genetic alphabet that includes the two non-standard nucleobases isoguanine (isoG) and isocytosine (isoC), as well as the standard A, T, G and C, is known to suffer as a consequence of a minor tautomeric

Core-level X-ray photoemission and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra of 5-methylcytosine, 5-fluorocytosine, and isocytosine are presented and discussed with the aid of high-level ab initio calculations. The effects of the methylation, halogenation, and isomerization on the relative stabilities of
Pentaammineruthenium moves on ambidentate nitrogen heterocycles by both rotation and linkage isomerization, which may affect the biological activity of potential ruthenium metallopharmaceuticals. The rapid rotation rates of [(NH3)5RuIII] coordinated to the exocyclic nitrogens of isocytosine (ICyt) and 6-methylisocytosine (6MeICyt) have
