Uridine is one of the four basic components of ribonucleic acid (RNA); the other three are adenosine, guanosine, and cytidine.
Uridine diphosphate | Uridine phosphorylase | Uridine monophosphate synthetase | Uridine diphosphate galactose | uridine |
Uridine phosphorylase adds ribose-1-phosphate to the free base uracil, forming uridine monophosphate.
Pseudouridine (abbreviated by the Greek letter psi- Ψ) is the C-glycoside isomer of the nucleoside uridine, and it is the most prevalent of the over one hundred different modified nucleosides found in RNA.
