What are the applications of Application

5,6-Dihydrouracil is an intermediate in the catabolism of uracil

Definition

ChEBI: 5,6-dihydrouracil is a pyrimidine obtained by formal addition of hydrogen across the 5,6-position of uracil. It has a role as a metabolite, a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is functionally related to a uracil.

General Description

Dihydrouracil (DiHU) is a minor base found in transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA). It is similar to uracil with the only exception that the C5-C6 bond is saturated. It crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P21/C. Its crystalline structure has been analyzed. Its generation from L-cysteine and uracil via photochemical addition has been described.
