2-O-Methylcytosine(CAT: I015566) emerges as a significant compound in the realm of nucleic acid chemistry and DNA damage research. Serving as an O-alkylated analog of cytosine, it represents a modified nucleobase that can be incorporated into DNA. This modification, resembling a DNA adduct, can result from exposure to certain environmental factors or chemical agents. The presence of 2-O-methylcytosine in DNA may lead to structural and functional alterations, potentially impacting processes such as replication and transcription.
