Product Information

• Name: 2'-Azido-2'-deoxyuridine
• Synonyms: 2'-Azido-2'-deoxy-D-uridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Azido-2'-deoxyuridine is a synthetic nucleoside analog of uridine in which the 2'-hydroxyl group on the ribose sugar is replaced with an azido group (–N₃), and the base is unmodified uracil. This modification alters the sugar's conformation and chemical reactivity, enabling the use of this analog in bioorthogonal labeling strategies, particularly through azide-alkyne "click" chemistry. Its incorporation into nucleic acids can influence polymerase recognition and chain elongation, making it a useful probe in studies of RNA synthesis, structure, and function.
