Description
5'-O-DMT-thymidine is a 5'-dimethoxytrityl-protected thymidine derivative widely applied in oligonucleotide synthesis and nucleoside research. Identified by CAS number 40615-39-2 and empirical formula C₃₁H₃₂N₂O₇, it has a molar mass of 544,6 g/mol and a density of 1,27 g/cm³. The DMT protecting group at the 5'-hydroxyl enables selective chain elongation strategies typical of solid-phase DNA chemistry and related biochemical protocols. Clear molecular-mass and density values facilitate accurate weighing and solution preparation. The product fits biochemical and synthetic workflows focused on thymidine building blocks, protecting-group chemistry, and nucleic-acid analogue studies.

Questions about 5'-O-DMT-thymidine, 100 g
What is this article?
5'-O-DMT-thymidine, 100 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.
