MedKoo Cat#: 145422 | Name: Wybutosine

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Wybutosine is a tricyclic nucleoside with a large side chain found at the 3'-position adjacent to the anticodon of eukaryotic phenylalanine tRNA. Wybutosine is a hyper modified guanosine. Wybutosine supports reading frame maintenance by stabilizing codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. Five different enzymes are needed to form a final product of Wybutosine.
