Compared to human milk, cow's milk has lower levels of nucleotide as uridine, inosine, and cytidine.
-
Atomic Energy Commission at that time, otherwise they certainly would have done the obvious follow-up experiment, using uniformly U-14C labeled cytidine themselves.
-
It was obvious for me to ask if there might be direct utilization of the whole of cytidine, ribose and all, in the biosynthesis of deoxycytidine.
-
Although U-14C cytidine did not label the deoxyribose of E. coli DNA, I found the deoxycytidine of DNA of rat organs to be almost uniformly labeled.
-
Therefore by both criteria it appeared certain that the 14C reached the deoxyribose directly from the cytidine.
-
It also shares similarities with the corresponding domains of a number of other cytidine deaminases, which belong to the same protein family as AID, but have very different functions another great story, for another day.
