Identification
Common Name5-Methylcytosine
ClassSmall Molecule
Description5-Methylcytosine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxypyrimidines. These are organic compounds containing a hydroxyl group attached to a pyrimidine ring. Pyrimidine is a 6-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and two nitrogen centers at the 1- and 3- ring positions. 5-Methylcytosine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 5-Methylcytosine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
