Pseudo-UTP
Pseudo-UTP is a nucleoside triphosphate analogue in which the uracil base is replaced by pseudouracil (pseudouridine). Pseudouridine is a naturally occurring nucleotide modification widely present in various RNA molecules. In vitro transcription reactions can utilize pseudo-UTP instead of UTP to produce RNA molecules containing pseudouridine modifications, enhancing RNA stability and functionality, and thus increasing their persistence within cells. Incorporation of pseudouridine can also enhance RNA translation efficiency and reduce immunogenicity, making it highly valuable for mRNA vaccine development and gene therapy applications.
