Cyclic di-GMP, (bis-(3'-5') cyclic diguanylic acid)


C-di-GMP is a second messenger that mediates the regulation of cell-surface associated traits in bacteria.

is a cyclic dinucleotide with a 12-membered macro-cycle composed of the the phosphate and ribose moieties. It tends to associate to form with intercalated, stacked bases.


Several protein structures involved in c-di-GMP signaling have been determined (see C-di-GMP signaling).
