HIV Exposure to air

... which part of my post I said there would be thymidine dimers in HIV? Cytosine is a pyrimidine as well, and it can undergo dimerization as well as deamination under UV irradiation. I said UV light can cause "biochemical changes in the microbe's nucleic acids", not that it causes "thymidine ...

Oxidation of amino acids

thanks for the website, i went through it. well i know that leucine is converted into acetyl-CoA after its deamination. so what i think was that leucine should go straight to the kreb cycle without going through glycolysis. it makes 12 ATPs in Kreb cycle. so is that mean one ...

The Fiber Disease

... cytidine residues to uridine residues and infrequently results in the reverse conversion. The mechanisms by which this transition could occur are deamination or transamination of the amide at C-4 of cytosine, transglycosylation of the ribosyl residue, or deletion of a CMP residue and insertion ...
