5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) is a nucleoside analog to thymidine and can be incorporated into DNA during DNA synthesis (see also our EdU cell proliferation assays for more information). The newly synthesized DNA carries an alkyne moiety that can be easily clicked to azides to assess cell proliferation, cell cycles, viability, etc.

5-Ethynyl uridine (EU) is a modified nucleoside that can be used for labeling of nascent RNA inside cells. After feeding EU, it can react with azides. Our own experiments indicate that it will be first integrated in de novo synthesized RNA, but we have also observed incorporation into DNA after some incubation time. This is most likely via conversion of the EU ribonucleoside into EdU aided by intracellular ribonucleotide reductases. Research from several groups demonstrates successful EU cellular labeling for divers applications.

C8-Alkyne-dUTP is easily incorporated into DNA by PCR instead of dUTP using polymerases like Pwo, Deep Vent exo- or KOD XL. The resulting stable and modified PCR fragment is now ready for further functionalization by Click Chemistry. We recommend a substitution of 1 – 10% of dUTP.
