Background

Thymidine (CAS: 50-89-5), chemically known as deoxythymidine, is a pyrimidine nucleoside comprising the nitrogenous base thymine linked to a deoxyribose sugar. As a fundamental component of DNA, thymidine integrates specifically with adenine nucleotides, facilitating stable double-helix formation through complementary base pairing. Experimentally, thymidine incorporation assays are widely employed to monitor DNA synthesis and cell proliferation rates. Its utilization in cellular studies allows synchronization of cultured cells at the G1 or early S-phase, providing defined conditions to analyze cell cycle dynamics.
