1-Methylcytosine (1mC) is a methylated form of the DNA base cytosine. The deoxyribonucleoside it forms is called '''N1-methyl-2'-deoxy-pseudocytidine''' (m1ΨdC).
1-Methylcytosine (1mC) is a methylated form of the DNA base cytosine. The deoxyribonucleoside it forms is called '''N1-methyl-2'-deoxy-pseudocytidine''' (m1ΨdC).
In 1-methylcytosine, a methyl group is attached to the 1st atom in the 6-atom ring. This methyl group distinguishes 1-methylcytosine from cytosine. The location distinguishes it from the more (naturally) common 5-methylcytosine.
