Product profile
5-Hydroxymethyl xylouridine is classified as nucleoside or protected nucleoside intermediate (Formula C10H14N2O7; molecular weight 274.23).
5-Hydroxymethyl xylouridine can serve as a starting material, protected intermediate or analytical comparator in nucleoside and nucleotide route development.
For 5-Hydroxymethyl xylouridine, dye-labeled nucleotides or amidites are bulkier than native monomers; incorporation efficiency, label density, photobleaching and light exposure should be controlled.
