5-Iodocytosine is a modified pyrimidine used in the synthesis of molecules such as pyrrolocytosine and biologically active derivatives.[1]
Application
5-Iodocytosine has been used as iodinated nucleotide with the single crystals of the 3D DNA designed motif for single anomalous dispersion (SAD) studies.[2]
The virally encoded integrase protein carries out retroviral integration, and to do so, it must make specific interactions with both viral and target DNA sequences. The retroviral integrase has three domains: an amino-terminal region of about 50 amino acids that
As part of our ongoing investigation of the synthesis of biologically interesting 2'-modified-4'-thionucleosides, we synthesized 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-4'-thioarabinofuranosylpyrimidine and -purine nucleosides, and evaluated their antiviral and antitumor activities. In the pyrimidine series, beta-anomers of 5-ethyluracil, 5-iodouracil, 5-chloroethyluracil, and 5-iodocytosine derivatives showed potent

We have employed a tandem Sonogashira/annulation reaction between 5-iodocytosine derivatives and terminal alkynes to yield the fluorescent bicyclic nucleobase pyrrolcytosine. Pyrrolocytosine bearing substituents only on the pyrrole ring are conveniently synthesized from 5-iodocytosine. Water soluble pyrrolocytosines are being investigated as
The GTP-dependent restriction enzyme McrBC consists of two polypeptides: one (McrB) that is responsible for GTP binding and hydrolysis as well as DNA binding and another (McrC) that is responsible for DNA cleavage. It recognizes two methylated or hemimethylated RC
