Because of their easy availability and their relative chemical stability, urea, formic acid, and glycine might have played a role in the assembly process of nucleobases. In this paper, a short reaction path is described to prepare hypoxanthine starting from

Conformational behaviors of urea and glycinamide have been investigated using the B3LYP functional with the 6-311+G* and 6-311+G** basis sets. Urea monomers have nonplanar minima at all the levels studied, even in the aqueous phase. In the case of glycinamide
The utility of PEGylation for improving therapeutic protein pharmacology would be substantially expanded if the authentic protein drugs could be regenerated in vivo. Diminution of kinetic constants of both enzymes and protein ligands are commonly encountered following permanent bioconjugation with
When mobile-phase salt content is increased, cationic analytes often show increased retention. This effect is generally attributed to chaotropic or ion pairing effects. However, a cation exclusion mechanism could explain the same effects. In this study, experimental conditions were manipulated
As a model for mechanistic comparison with peptidyl transfer within the ribosome, the reaction of aqueous glycinamide with N-formylphenylalanine trifluoroethyl ester (fPhe-TFE) represents an improvement over earlier model reactions involving Tris. The acidity of trifluoroethanol (pKa 12.4) resembles that of
