Degradation of both pseudouridine AF and As by periodate oxidation, borohydride reduct,ion, and alkaline hydrolysis gave 5-(1 ',2'-dihydroxyethy1)uracil. This establishes that the A isomers are anomeric forms of D-ribopyranosyluracil.When pseudouridine-C is heated in either acid or alkali three new isomers, designated AI., As, and B, are formed (Cohn, 1960;Chambers et al., 1963). The structure of pseudouridine-C has been unequivocally
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
