Cytidine
Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside consisting of cytosine linked to ribose. It serves as a biochemical precursor to uridine and both are essential for RNA biosynthesis. This compound is widely used in molecular biology research, including studies on nucleotide metabolism and nucleic acid synthesis in both cellular and enzymatic systems.
