General description

Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule. It is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring through a β-N1-glycosidic bond.

Application

Cytidine has been used as a component to prepare ribonucleoside stock solution to assess its effects on the anaerobic growth of several Bacillus mojavensis strains.
Cytidine has been used as a non-essential aminoacid component of minimal essential medium (MEM) to analyse interspecies somatic cell nucleus transfer (iSCNT)-derived blastocysts. It has also been used as a supplement in the culture medium of HeLa cells, to study the effects of cytidine addition on rods and rings (RR) induced by glutamine deprivation.

Protein cages have recently emerged as an extraordinary drug-delivery system due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, ease to manipulate and engineer. We have reported earlier the formation and architecture of a do-decameric cage-like architecture of Vibrio cholerae acylphosphatase (VcAcP)
