Product Information

• Name: 2'-O-Methyl-5-methyluridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-O-Methyl-5-methyluridine is a nucleoside that is involved in the synthesis of RNA. It is a component of the 5-methyluridine (5MU) and 2'-O-methyl-5-hydroxymethyluridine (2'OMMU) families of nucleotides. This compound has been shown to be effective against organisms such as E. coli, S. typhimurium, and C. parapsilosis, which are amide sensitive. The amide group of 2'-O-methyl-5-methyluridine can be cleaved by reagents such as hydrazine or tris(2,4,6,-trimethlyphenyl)phosphonium bromide to form 5MU and 2'OMMU respectively. The modifications to the ribose ring are important for its activity and function in cells. The modification of the ribose ring is catalyzed by enzymes called
