Guanine definition

These definitions apply to any atomic system, molecule or crystal. Fig. 7.3 a illustrates their application to the charge distribution of the guanine-cytosine base-pair. Fig. 7.3 b shows the molecular structure defined by the bond paths and the associated CPs that clearly and uniquely define the three hydrogen bonds that link the two bases. Fig. 7.3 c shows the atomic boundaries and bond paths overlaid on the electron density in the plane of the nuclei. All properties of the atoms can be determined, enabling one, for example, to determine separately the energy of formation of each of the three hydrogen bonds. 

Early work on DNA polymerase I led to the definition of two central requirements for DNA polymerization. First, all DNA polymerases require a template. The polymerization reaction is guided by a template DNA strand according to the base-pairing rules predicted by Watson and Crick where a guanine is present in the template, a cytosine deoxynucleotide is added to the new strand, and so on. This was a particularly important discovery, not only because it provided a chemical basis for accurate semiconservative DNA replication but also because it represented the first example of the use of a template to guide a biosynthetic reaction.

Fig. 9. Comparison of amino acid sequences of bovine mouse rat a, a (partial), retinal rod and cone cells < bacterial elongation factor EFTu and c-Ha-ras, aligned to maximize matching. This leads to the definition of an aavp of 3% amino acids (numbers above sequences). Boxes surround identical or conserved residues, (c) and (p), residues ADP-ribosylated by CTX and PTX, respectively. —A—, — C—, —E— and —G—, sequences known to be intimately involved in guanine nucleotide binding by EFTu (From Refs. 175 and 176).

Todd and Neidle defined a PQS sequence as having the form G3.5N1.7G3.5 N1.7G3.5N1.7G3.5. This is similar to the Folding Rule of Huppert and Balasubramanian (implemented in the program quadparser), which was G3+Ni.7G3+Ni.7G3+Ni 7G3+. Thcsc definitions differ essentially only for continuous runs of guanine in excess of 5 bases, which are counted in the latter case but not the former.
