Description

Application
Thymidine (dT) is a pyrimidine deoxyriboside (deoxynucleoside) that upon sequential phosphorylation to deoxythymidine triphospate (dTTP) is used to synthesize DNA and the T-loop of transfer RNA. Thymidine is as substrate of Thymidine kinase EC 2.7.1.21 which phosphorylates the nucleoside with a phosphate derived from ATP. dT may be used to study the distribution specificity and kinetics of a family of thymidine kinase(s).

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
Thymidine (deoxythymidine other names deoxyribosylthymine thymine deoxyriboside) is a pyrimidine deoxynucleoside. Deoxythymidine is the DNA nucleoside T which pairs with deoxyadenosine (A) in double-stranded DNA. In cell biology it is used to synchronize the cells in G1early S phase. Before the boom in thymidine use caused by the need for thymidine for the production of the antiretroviral drug azidothymidine (AZT) much of the worlds thymidine production came from herring sperm. Thymidine occurs almost exclusively in DNA but also occurs in the T-loop of tRNA.
