The synthesis of cyclic bis(3¢-5¢)diguanylic acid (c-di-GMP) by using a new flexible approach is reported. The flexibility of the method is exemplified by the synthesis of base-modified analogues that will find applications in the elucidation of c-di-GMP biological modes of action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
