Guanine is a purine base that plays a variety of important roles in biochemistry and molecular biology.
1. Guanine CAS 73-40-5 is one of the four main nucleobases in DNA and RNA. Guanine pairs with cytosine in DNA and RNA to form the structure and function of genetic material.
2. Guanine is a component of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which is a key molecule for energy transfer within cells. GTP is involved in protein synthesis, signal transduction, and other cellular processes.
3. GTP CAS 73-40-5 acts as a signaling molecule in various cellular pathways, including those involving G proteins, Guanine play a key role in transmitting signals from the outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
4. Guanine and its derivatives are used in various research applications, including the synthesis of nucleotides for molecular biology techniques such as PCR and DNA sequencing.
5. Some guanine CAS 73-40-5 derivatives are being explored for their potential therapeutic applications, including antiviral and anticancer properties.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
As a compound, guanine CAS 73-40-5 should be stored properly to maintain its stability and integrity.
1. Store guanine in a cool, dry place. It is usually recommended to store it at room temperature, away from heat sources.
2. Guanine CAS 73-40-5 is hygroscopic (it absorbs moisture from the air), so keep it away from humid environments. A desiccator or sealed container with desiccant can help maintain a dry environment.
3. Avoid exposing guanine to light, as some compounds degrade in the presence of light. If possible, store Guanine in an opaque or amber container.
4. Guanine CAS 73-40-5 use airtight containers to prevent contamination and moisture intrusion. Usually, glass containers or high-quality plastic containers are suitable.
5. Check the supplier or manufacturer for any specific expiration date or stability information.
