Produktinformation

• Name: Pseudothymidine

Beschreibung

Pseudothymidine is the nucleobase analog of thymidine. It is a synthetic substance that has been used in the polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) to form DNA molecules. Pseudothymidine is not naturally found in cells and can be used as a substitute for thymidine during PCR to make more copies of DNA sequences. It has been shown that pseudothymidine can be incorporated into DNA without disrupting the polymerase chain reaction. The thermal denaturation of pseudothymidine is 10 °C lower than that of thymidine, allowing it to be used at higher temperatures with less risk of degradation.

Pseudothymidine may also have medical applications, such as its use in cancer treatment. It may help kill cancer cells by blocking their ability to repair damaged DNA and preventing them from dividing, which could lead to cell death.
