INTRODUCTION

Guanosine 5’-diphosphate disodium salt (GDP·Na2) is a purine nucleoside diphosphate that plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes. It is a nucleoside consisting of the base guanine and the sugar ribose
It has two phosphate groups, which affects its function and interactions with enzymes. It is a salt form where two sodium ions are associated with the GDP molecule to make it soluble in water
It is widely used in molecular biology, pharmacology and other scientific research

Manufacture

Guanosine 5′-diphosphate disodium salt can be synthesized by synthetic route which involves phosphorylation of guanosine using phosphoric acid derivatives in presence of catalyst
