Product profile
2'-F-dC(Ac) is classified as base-protected nucleosides (Formula C11H14FN3O5; molecular weight 287.24).
2'-F-dC(Ac) is commonly assessed in siRNA, antisense and aptamer-style designs where ribose modification is used to tune stability and binding.
For 2'-F-dC(Ac), coupling, deprotection and biological performance remain sequence- and position-dependent.
