Guanine (Standard)

Guanine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Guanine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Guanine is one of the fundamental components of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) . Guanine is a purine derivative, consisting of a fused pyrimidine-imidazole ring system with conjugated double bonds. Guanine has the potential to serve as a large-capacity N pool[1].
