Cytosine
Cytosine (6-Aminopyrimidin-2 (1H) -one) is a fundamental pyrimidine nucleobase in nucleic acids. Its spontaneous deamination is a well-characterized mutagenic event, and cytosine nucleotides are implicated in mutagenesis underlying leukemia and other cancers. This compound is essential for in vitro studies of DNA biochemistry, replication errors, and epigenetic mechanisms.
