General description
5-Methylcytidine is a component of RNA in Escherichia coli. It is present in the RNA of plant, animal and bacterial origin. It is one of the C derivative present in transfer RNA (tRNA).
Application
5-Methylcytidine has been used as a standard for deriving the calibration curve in reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
5-Methylcytidine is used in studies of DNA methylation processes (epigenetics).
Biochem/physiol Actions
5-Methylcytidine is an alkylated pyrimidine plays an important role enhancing the stacking in A- and B- helices of nucleic acid, results in increase of the melting temperature and improves thermal stability leading to structural stabilization.
