Orotic Acid-13C,15N2 Monohydrate (CAS 50887-69-9 (unlabeled))
QUICK LINKS
Orotic Acid-13C,15N2 Monohydrate is a labeled variant of orotic acid, where carbon and nitrogen atoms are isotopically labeled with ^13C and ^15N, respectively. This isotopic enrichment makes it an invaluable tool in the field of molecular biology and biochemistry, particularly in nucleic acid research. Its mechanism of action involves participating in the de novo synthesis of pyrimidines, a step in the formation of RNA and DNA. By incorporating into nucleotides, Orotic Acid-13C,15N2 Monohydrate allows for the tracing and studying of metabolic pathways and nucleotide biosynthesis processes with high precision. The incorporation of stable isotopes does not alter the chemical properties of the compound, which means it behaves identically to its natural counterpart in biochemical pathways, yet it can be detected and quantified with great specificity and sensitivity using mass spectrometry or NMR spectroscopy.
