CAS 2140-71-8: 2′-O-Methylguanosine
Description:2′-O-Methylguanosine is a modified nucleoside that plays a significant role in various biological processes, particularly in RNA metabolism. It consists of a guanine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is further methylated at the 2′ hydroxyl group. This modification is commonly found in tRNA and rRNA, contributing to the stability and functionality of these molecules. The presence of the methyl group enhances the structural integrity of RNA, influencing its folding and interaction with proteins. 2′-O-Methylguanosine is also involved in the regulation of gene expression and can affect the splicing and translation of RNA. Its chemical formula reflects the presence of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms, characteristic of nucleosides. The compound is soluble in water and exhibits properties typical of nucleosides, such as forming hydrogen bonds and participating in base pairing. Due to its biological significance, 2′-O-Methylguanosine is of interest in research related to RNA biology, therapeutics, and the development of RNA-based drugs.
