Description

A pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside that is 5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine in which the hydroxymethyl group at position 5 has been formally converted to the corresponding 2-aminoethyl ether. It is a thymidine hypermodification replacing 40% of thymidine nucleotides in the Salmonellaphage ViI.
