Application
Cytosine has been used:
- for the preparation of nucleobase solutions
- as a standard for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
- for the estimation of global methylation rate
- for nucleoside 5′-triphosphate (NTP) synthesis
- purification
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cytosine (C) is one of the four main bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine, guanine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).
Cytosine is a pyrimidine, which forms three hydrogen bonds to base pair with guanine. It forms a nucleotide cytidine, that is phosphorylated to cytidine 5′ monophosphate (CMP), cytidine 5′ diphosphate (CDP) and cytidine 5′ triphosphate (CTP).
