Description
2'-Deoxy-5-iodocytidine is a halogenated deoxynucleoside building block supplied at a minimum purity of 95 %, with CAS number 611-53-0 and empirical formula C₉H₁₂IN₃O₄. Its molar mass of 353,12 g/mol makes it a well-defined intermediate for oligonucleotide chemistry, modified DNA synthesis and structure–activity studies in nucleic acid research. The iodine substituent at the 5-position of the cytosine base enables selective cross-coupling, radiolabelling strategies and probing of base-pairing behaviour in biochemical assays. This biochemical is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for laboratories engaged in nucleoside analogue development, antisense research and related molecular biology applications. Researchers value its defined composition when preparing phosphoramidites, studying halogenated DNA or exploring antiviral and anticancer nucleoside scaffolds. Handle and store according to laboratory good practice for light- and temperature-sensitive nucleosides to maintain integrity throughout experimental workflows.

Questions about 2'-Deoxy-5-iodocytidine, min. 95 %, 5 g
What is this article?
2'-Deoxy-5-iodocytidine, min. 95 %, 5 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Coenzymes, nucleotides & vitamins, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
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.
Which category should I open next?
