title: Reaction of guanosine with glycidaldehyde.
abstract: The structure and the mechanism of formation of the 1:1 adduct from the reaction of guanosine with glycidaldehyde have been investigated. From this reaction, a 2:2 adduct has also been isolated, and can be rationalized as a product of self-condensation of the 1:1 adduct, with extrusion of formaldehyde.
