Thymidine, also written 2'-deoxythymidine (dT), is the thymine DNA nucleoside formed from thymine and 2-deoxy-β-D-ribose. CH64004 is identified by CAS 50-89-5, molecular formula C10H14N2O5, molecular weight 242.23, and PubChem CID 5789.

The source label "2'-deoxythymine" should be read as thymidine / 2'-deoxythymidine, not as the free base thymine. Thymidine is used in thymidine-kinase phosphorylation research and is the parent nucleoside behind tritiated-thymidine DNA-synthesis assays.

Contexto de aplicación

  • Thymidine-kinase research: literature reports thymidine as a substrate of thymidine kinase in phosphorylation studies.
  • DNA-synthesis assays: tritiated thymidine ([3H]thymidine) is a classic DNA-synthesis marker, with thymidine as the parent nucleoside.
  • Thymine DNA nucleoside reference: CH64004 provides the dT identity for nucleoside and oligonucleotide chemistry comparisons.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is CH64004 thymidine or the base thymine?

It is thymidine, the nucleoside (CAS 50-89-5) — thymine joined to 2-deoxyribose. The brochure label "2'-deoxythymine" is imprecise; the free base thymine is a separate compound.

Why is thymidine used in DNA-synthesis assays?

Tritiated thymidine ([3H]thymidine) is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA, making it a classic reference marker for DNA synthesis; thymidine is the parent nucleoside for these assays.
