2'-DeoxyUridine phosphoramidite

2'-DeoxyUridine phosphoramidite (dU) is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by binding to DNA, preventing transcription and replication. It has been shown to have antibacterial activity against a wide variety of bacteria, including staphylococcus, tuberculosis, and vibrio cholerae. dU is a chemotaxis regulator in the biosynthetic pathway of certain bacteria. These bacteria use this compound as a precursor for the production of other antibiotics. This antibiotic binds to the regulatory site on bacterial chemotaxis and inhibits the response to attractants such as sugars or amino acids.
