General description
1-Methyluracil is of special importance in biochemistry, since uracil attaches ribose in ribonucleic acid (RNA) just precisely at the N1 atom. H-bond complex formation between 1-methyluracil and glycine has been investigated by theoretical calculations and FT-IR spectroscopy in Ar matrices. It forms 1:1 complexes with 9-ethyl-8-bromo-2,6-diaminopurine and the complex structure has been determined by three-dimensional X-ray diffraction methods.

As far as fundamental knowledge is concerned, the methyl derivatives of uracil can be considered as the simplest objects for studying the structural effects due to the substitution in the pyrimidyne nucleobases. From this point of view, 1-methyluracil is of

Anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs) are compared for H atoms estimated using three recently described procedures, both among themselves and with neutron diffraction results. The results convincingly demonstrate that all methods are capable of giving excellent results for several benchmark systems

The hydration of nucleotide bases of m9Ade(A), m1Ura(U) and a complementary pair A.U was studied by field ionization mass-spectrometry at room and low (170 K) temperatures in vacuum. Enthalpies of A.U-pair formation and its monohydrate A.U(H2O) were measured using temperature
