Application
Bromouracil is primarily used as a thymine analog in molecular biology research to study DNA replication and mutagenesis. It is incorporated into DNA in place of thymine, leading to base-pairing errors and subsequent mutations. Researchers utilize Bromouracil to investigate nucleic acid metabolism, DNA repair mechanisms, and the effects of base analogs on genetic stability. Additionally, it serves as a tool in virology studies to induce mutations in viral genomes. Its mutagenic properties make it valuable for understanding carcinogenesis and developing novel therapeutic strategies.
