Deoxycytidine is a nucleoside that plays a crucial role in the structure of DNA. It consists of a pyrimidine base, cytosine, linked to a deoxyribose sugar. The chemical formula of deoxycytidine is C9H11N3O4, and it is characterized by the presence of an amino group at the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring and a hydroxymethyl group at the 2-position of the sugar. Deoxycytidine is a key building block in the synthesis of DNA, where it pairs with deoxyguanosine during DNA replication. It is also involved in various biochemical pathways, including those related to nucleotide metabolism and cellular signaling. In terms of solubility, deoxycytidine is soluble in water, which facilitates its biological functions. The substance is often used in research and clinical settings, particularly in studies related to DNA synthesis and repair mechanisms. Its CAS number, 951-77-9, is a unique identifier that helps in the cataloging and identification of this compound in scientific literature and databases.
