CAS 50-89-5: Thymidine
Description:Thymidine, with the CAS number 50-89-5, is a nucleoside that plays a crucial role in the structure of DNA. It consists of a thymine base attached to a deoxyribose sugar. Thymidine is a key component in the synthesis of DNA, as it pairs with adenine during DNA replication. This compound is typically found in the form of a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. Thymidine is also involved in cellular processes such as DNA repair and synthesis, and it can be phosphorylated to form thymidine monophosphate, which is further converted into thymidine triphosphate (dTTP), an essential building block for DNA polymerization. In laboratory settings, thymidine is often used in research related to cell proliferation and DNA synthesis studies. Additionally, it has been investigated for its potential therapeutic applications in antiviral and anticancer treatments, highlighting its significance in both biological and medical research.
