General description
Uracil belongs to the pyrimidine nucleobase family. It is naturally occurring and is an important and active part of RNA.
Application
Uracil has been used as:
- a nucleotide standard to determine DNA methylation by high-performance liquid chromatography
- a component of synthetic define medium for culturing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its strain
- a component of the amino acid supplement to culture Bacillus sp
Biochem/physiol Actions
Uracil and its derivatives play an integral part in medicinal chemistry for the synthesis of cancer, viral infections, autosomal recessive disorder, thyroid, and diabetic drugs.

Formation of 5-methyluridine (ribothymidine) at position 54 of the T-psi loop of tRNA is catalyzed by site-specific tRNA methyltransferases (tRNA[uracil-54,C5]-MTases). In eukaryotes and many bacteria, the methyl donor for this reaction is generally S-adenosyl-L-methionine (S-AdoMet). However, in other bacteria, like
