Epigenetic effects of cytosine derivatives are caused by their tautomers in Hoogsteen base pairs
Denis A. Semenov
Deoxycitidine in solution exists as two tautomers one of which is an uncanonical imino one. The latter can dominate with such derivatives as 5-methyl, 5-hydroxymethyl- and 5-formyl…
Enol form of uracil in the GU "wobble" pair. NMR evidence
Denis A. Semenov, Vladimir A. Reznikov
GU "wobble" pair may contain either the enol form of uracil and the keto form of guanine or the enol form of guanine and the keto form of uracil. A direct proof of uracil existence…
Why is life so exact?
Denis A. Semenov
This is my attempt to answer Schrödinger's question: "What is Life?". In living cell the local combination of atoms is reproduced with incredible accuracy. In the case of protein b…
From the Wobble to Reliable Hypothesis
Denis A. Semenov
A simple explanation for the symmetry and degeneracy of the genetic code has been suggested. An alternative to the wobble hypothesis has been proposed. This hypothesis offers expla…
Reasons underlying certain tendencies in the data on the frequency of codon usage
Denis A. Semenov
The tendencies described in this work were revealed in the course of examination of adenine and uracil distribution in the mRNA encoding sequence. The study also discusses the usag…
What the difference between Thymine and Uracil?
Denis A. Semenov
The wobble hypothesis does not discriminate between uracil and thymine. Methylation could favor further stabilization of uracil in the keto form. Thymine is present in keto form on…
