Description
2-Methylthio-N₆-isopentenyladenosine is a hypermodified adenosine nucleoside with CAS number 20859-00-1 and empirical formula C₁₆H₂₃N₅O₄S. The molar mass is 381,45 g/mol and the boiling point is 718 °C. This structure combines N₆-isopentenyl and 2-methylthio substitutions that occur in certain tRNA species; the compound is therefore relevant to investigations of tRNA modification, decoding fidelity and the enzymatic pathways that install thiolated and prenylated bases. Research groups in epitranscriptomics, RNA biology and nucleoside chemistry can employ it as a reference material or synthetic intermediate. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH within the biochemicals range and suits laboratories that need a well-specified 2-methylthio-N₆-isopentenyladenosine sample for analytical comparison or small-scale experimental work. Clear CAS identification, molecular formula and listed physical data support accurate documentation in research records and material handling procedures.
This article is part of Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about 2-Methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenosine, 1 mg
What is this article?
2-Methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenosine, 1 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
Coenzymes, nucleotides and vitamins are the small molecules enzymes and cells consume: NAD, ATP, a vitamin cofactor. Purity, salt form and hydration are the specification, and many are unstable in solution or in the light. The lot is stored as the label says, often cold.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
