Product Information

• Name: 2'-Deoxy-a-cytidine
• Synonyms: 2'-Deoxy-a-D-cytidine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Deoxy-a-cytidine is a nucleoside analog that inhibits the growth of bacteria by competitively binding to the 5' position of the ribose sugar in RNA. This prevents the enzyme from adding a new linkage to the ribose, which results in an irreversible blockage of RNA synthesis. 2'-Deoxy-a-cytidine has been shown to be bacteriostatic against Escherichia coli and other bacterial species. It is also able to inhibit adenosine production, although it does not show any activity against DNA synthesis.2'-Deoxy-a-cytidine has been shown to be effective against E. coli and other bacterial species, but does not show any activity against DNA synthesis
