Apexbio Technology LLC 5-IODO-CTP 50UL 100 MM
5-Iodo-CTP is a nucleotide analog derived from cytidine triphosphate (CTP) Due to its triphosphate structure it serves as a substrate for RNA polymerases and becomes incorporated into nascent RNA strands during transcription Incorporation of the iodine atom into RNA molecules facilitates their subsequent detection and analysis Thus 5-Iodo-CTP finds utility in studying RNA structure-function relationships analyzing RNA synthesis and stability and characterizing RNA-protein interactions Additionally the iodine substituent integrated within RNA offers a convenient handle for cross-linking or probing RNA-associated molecular events
