4-Thiouridine is useful for UV photocrosslinking studies to identify sites of ribonucleoprotein-RNA interactions and to crosslink sites containing RNA secondary and tertiary structure. Incorporation of 4-Thiouridine allows for specific crosslinking at longer wavelengths, typically between 320 and 360 nm, which results in minimal RNA damage compared to standard shortwave UV light. 4-Thiouridine-5'-Triphosphate can also be incorporated into RNA to allow specific and efficient tagging of the modified base with sulfur-reactive methylthiosulfonate-activated labels.
"The 4-Thio-UTP I had ordered from TriLink worked like a charm."
