To gain further insight into how aromatic prenyltransferases select the appropriate prenyl donor, Kuzuyama et al. 3 used the three-dimensional structure of Orf2 to model the active sites of other ...

Aromatic compounds—substances with flat, ring-shaped structures made up of carbon atoms—play an important role in organic chemistry. Among other things, they serve as solvents or feedstock for ...

It is a polar molecule due to the presence of the carbonyl (C=O) and amino (NH₂) groups. The aromatic rings in guanine's structure make it a relatively stable molecule, but it can still undergo ...
