Description

Guanine is one of the fundamental components of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Guanine is a purine derivative, consisting of a fused pyrimidine-imidazole ring system with conjugated double bonds.


Solid


Guanine is a 2-aminopurine carrying a 6-oxo substituent. It has a role as a human metabolite, an algal metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a purine nucleobase, an oxopurine and a member of 2-aminopurines. It derives from a hydride of a 9H-purine.|Guanine is a purine base that is a constituent of nucleotides occurring in nucleic acids.

Methods of Manufacturing

FISHER, BER 30, 2226 (1897); TRAUBE, BER 33, 1371 (1900). GERMAN PATENTS 134,984 (1903), 158,591 (1903), 162,336 (1904). PREPARATION OF (15)N-ISOTOPIC GUANINE FOLLOWING TRAUBE'S SYNTHESIS: PLENTL, SCHOENHEIMER, J BIOL CHEM 153, 203 (1944).

Uses

Guanine is on one of the five nucleobases incorporated into biological nucleic acids. Guanine, along with adenine and cytosine, is present in both DNA and RNA, whereas thymine is usually seen only in DNA, and uracil only in RNA.
