Description
5-Ethynyl uridine is a modified nucleoside of minimum 98 % purity, CAS number 69075-42-9, and empirical formula C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₆. The molar mass is 268,22 g/mol. This ethynyl-bearing uridine analogue is suited to click chemistry approaches in RNA applications, allowing metabolic labelling of nascent RNA and subsequent detection via azide–alkyne cycloaddition. The product is available from manufacturer baseclick and complements related ethynyl nucleosides used in nucleic-acid research. Defined purity and molecular mass support reproducible incorporation and detection steps in transcription and RNA-turnover studies. Storage at low temperature maintains reagent quality as stated in the manufacturer data. Research groups focused on RNA labelling and bioorthogonal chemistry can employ 5-ethynyl uridine alongside compatible azide probes. Always review the safety data sheet prior to handling and experimental use.

Questions about 5-Ethynyl uridine, min. 98 %, 10 mg, plastic
What is this article?
5-Ethynyl uridine, min. 98 %, 10 mg, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes baseclick 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.
