5'-Azido-5'-deoxythymidine

SKU: orb1907855

Description

5'-Azido-5'-deoxythymidine is a thymidine analog that potently inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPKmt, a key enzyme for bacterial DNA synthesis. Its azide moiety contributes to reverse transcriptase inhibition, making it a valuable probe for studying nucleoside metabolism and anti-tubercular mechanisms in biochemical and microbiological assays.
