We have computationally explored how the relative stabilities of 1-methyluracil (1-MeUH) tautomers can be tuned through coordination of these tautomers to Pt(II) complexes with a particular set of ligands. This has been done using density functional theory at the BP86/TZ2P

Planar H-bonded and stacked structures of guanine...cytosine (G.C), adenine...thymine (A...T), 9-methylguanine...1-methylcytosine (mG...mC), and 9-methyladenine...1-methylthymine (mA...mT) were optimized at the RI-MP2 level using the TZVPP ([5s3p2d1f/3s2p1d]) basis set. Planar H-bonded structures of G...C, mG...mC, and A...T correspond to the Watson-Crick (WC)

The ground and low-lying excited states of the pyrimidine nucleo bases uracil, thymine, and 1-methylthymine have been characterized using ab initio coupled-cluster with approximate doubles (CC2) and a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and semiempirical multireference configuration interaction (MRCI)

Activating the Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) adaptor incites antitumor immunity against immunogenic tumors in mice, prompting clinical trials to test STING activators. However, STING signaling in the tumor microenvironment (TME) during development of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) suppresses antitumor

The nucleophilic addition properties of carbon dioxide radical anion (CO2*-) towards N1-substituted thymine derivatives in aqueous solution is studied for comparison with their one-electron reducing reactivity. N2O-Saturated aqueous solutions of 1-methylthymine, 1,3-dimethylthymine, and thymidylyl(3'-->5')-thymidine containing excess formate ions were gamma-irradiated
