Description

Methyl 4-aminobenzoate is a chemical compound that is used as a fluorescence probe in the study of DNA replication. It can be used to detect the presence of viral RNA in cell culture, and has been shown to inhibit the replication of bacterial RNA. Methyl 4-aminobenzoate binds to guanine residues in DNA and forms an alkyl bond with them. This prevents the binding of other amino acids, which are essential for DNA replication. Methyl 4-aminobenzoate has also been shown to have pharmacokinetic properties that make it useful for intravenous administration and oral administration.
