Highly Purified

Cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt is a nucleotide found in cells and plays a key role in DNA synthesis by providing the building blocks of RNA and DNA. It is also important for maintaining normal levels of glutathione. Cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt is used as a ligand to study receptor-ligand interactions at the molecular level. The interaction between cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt and gold nanoparticles can be studied using a fluorescence technique known as bathochromic spectroscopy. This technique uses gold nanoparticles that have been coated with an organic dye, which changes its wavelength when it interacts with cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt. This allows for the study of these interactions without interference from other molecules in the solution or cell culture media.
