Description: 5-Chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (5-Chlorodeoxyuridine) is a thymine analog. It can be used to study the potential of hypochlorous acid damage to DNA and DNA precursors. Target: Others. Smiles: OC[C@H]1O[C@H](C[C@@H]1O)n1cc(Cl)c(=O)[nH]c1=O. References: Kim CH, et al. Polymerase incorporation and miscoding...

5-Chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (CldU) is a thymidine analog that is readily incorporated, following phosphorylation, into newly synthesized DNA in place of thymidine. Like 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (Cay-15580) and 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine, CldU can be detected immunologically in cells and tissues. CldU can also be added to...
