Chemistry:4-Thiouridine
From HandWiki
4-Thiouridine is an atypical nucleoside formed with the 4-thiouracil base found in transfer RNA (tRNA).[1] Its biosynthesis has been determined.[2]
The IUPAC reserved the single-letter nucleobase code "S" for thiouridine in 1970, but the convention does not appear very common.[3] "S" was repurposed to mean "C or G" in 1984.[4]
