Description:2'-Deoxy-5-ethynyluridine (5-EdU) is a modified thymidine analogue containing a terminal alkyne group, which is used for nucleotide labelling. 5-Edu is easily taken up by cells and incorporated by metabolic activation during DNA synthesis. By adding an azide conjugated to a fluorophore or a biotin moiety, a click reaction occurs from the labelled nucleotide linked by a triazole group. 5-Edu are employed in cell proliferation assays, to study DNA and RNA localisation, structure and dynamics, in the synthesis of aptamers with the click-SELEX method, and in other applications such as the preparation of oligonucleotide microarrays and nanoelectronic devices.
