Usage

Description

[3'-13C]URIDINE, also known as labeled uridine, is a nucleoside that is widely distributed in nature. It is one of the four basic components of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and is labeled with the stable isotope carbon-13 at the 3' position. This labeling allows for the tracking and analysis of uridine's role in various biological processes.

Uses

Used in Research and Development:
[3'-13C]URIDINE is used as a research tool for studying the synthesis, metabolism, and function of RNA in living organisms. The carbon-13 labeling enables researchers to track the incorporation of uridine into RNA molecules and monitor its metabolic pathways using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
[3'-13C]URIDINE is used as a tracer compound in the development of new drugs targeting RNA-related diseases. The labeled uridine can help researchers understand the interaction of potential drug candidates with RNA and their effects on RNA synthesis and function.
Used in Diagnostic Applications:
[3'-13C]URIDINE can be employed as a diagnostic agent for detecting and monitoring RNA-related disorders. The carbon-13 labeling allows for the non-invasive detection of these conditions using imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Used in Educational Purposes:
[3'-13C]URIDINE serves as an educational tool for teaching students about the structure, function, and synthesis of RNA in biological systems. The labeled uridine can be used in laboratory experiments to demonstrate the incorporation of nucleosides into RNA and the role of RNA in various cellular processes.
