Description
β-Pseudouridine, also called Pseudouridine, NSC 162405, is an isomer of the nucleoside
uridine found in all species and in many classes of RNA except mRNA. Besides the application
of studying tRNA interactions with aminoacyl transferases, studies also suggest that it reduces
radiation-induced chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes.
