QUICK LINKS
5-Methylcytidine-5′-triphosphate sodium salt is a nucleotide analog that is incorporated into RNA molecules during in vitro transcription reactions. In molecular biology research, this compound is used to study the effects of methylation on RNA structure and function, as well as in the investigation of RNA-protein interactions. It serves as a substrate for RNA polymerases, allowing scientists to synthesize RNAs that contain methylated cytosine residues, which can be important in the study of epigenetic regulation and the role of methylation in gene expression. Additionally, 5-Methylcytidine-5′-triphosphate sodium salt is used in the preparation of mRNA for transcriptomics studies and in the development of mRNA-based technologies. Its application extends to probing the specificity of cytidine-modifying enzymes and in the creation of modified oligonucleotides for molecular biology experiments that require a stable and well-defined methylated nucleotide.
