2'-O-Methyl-5-methylcytidine is a 2'-O-Methyl nucleoside.

2'-O-Methyl-5-methylcytidine is a nucleoside that is categorized as a modified nucleic acid. It is structurally similar to cytidine, but has an additional methyl group. 2'-O-Methyl-5-methylcytidine stabilizes the conformational structure of nucleic acids and can be used to regulate the activity of enzymes. This modified nucleoside has been shown to have thermophilic characteristics when it interacts with human cells. The stability of 2'-O-Methyl-5-methylcytidine increases with increasing temperature, making it possible for this molecule to regulate gene expression in organisms that live at high temperatures.
