Usage

General Description

POLYURIDYLIC ACID (5') POTASSIUM SALT, also known as poly(U), is a synthetic polynucleotide consisting of repeating uridine monomers linked via phosphodiester bonds. It is commonly used in molecular biology and biochemistry research as a synthetic RNA molecule to study RNA-protein interactions, RNA structure, and RNA synthesis. As a potassium salt, it is water-soluble and stable at physiological pH, making it suitable for various experimental applications. Additionally, poly(U) has been utilized in the development of therapeutic RNA-based drugs and in the study of viral RNA replication and gene expression.
