General description

4-Thiouridine is a photoreactive uridine analog.

Application

4-Thiouridine has been used in labeling and isolation of nascent RNAs.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Thiouridine plays a role in assessing nascent RNA synthesis. It also enhances site-specific crosslinking. 4-Thiouridine also acts as a photoaffinity probe due to its stability even while lacking specific photoactivation. It can also be incorporated into RNAs.
