Product Information

• Name: Uridine-5-oxyacetic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Uridine-5-oxyacetic acid is a molecule that is synthesized from uridine and 5-oxo-4-pyrone. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides, which are important for DNA replication, repair, and transcription. Uridine-5-oxyacetic acid has been shown to form stable complexes with subtilisin. These complexes have been determined by X-ray crystallography to be glycosidic bond between the uridine and the enzyme. The enzymatic activity of subtilisin can be inhibited by these complexes, which may lead to frameshifting during bacterial translation. This inhibition leads to a less efficient protein synthesis process and a decrease in the production of gene products.
