1. Determination of structure and absolute configuration of a new modified nucleoside isolated from tRNA-2Gly of Bombyx mori by a total synthesis to be 5-(S-carboxy(hydroxy)methyl) uridine

T Kondo, T Fukami, T Goto, M Kawakami, S Takemura. Nucleic Acids Symp Ser. 1983;(12):127-30.

A synthesis of a new modified nucleoside isolated from tRNA2Gly of Bombyx mori was accomplished. This synthesis confirmed its structure and proved its absolute configuration to be 5-(S-carboxy(hydroxy)methyl)uridine.

2. 5-(Carboxy-hydroxymethyl)uridine, a new modified nucleoside located in the anticodon of tRNA2Gly from the posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori

M Kawakami, K Nishio, S Takemura, T Kondo, T Goto. Nucleic Acids Symp Ser. 1979;(6):s53-5.

A new modified nucleoside located in the anticodon of tRNA2Gly from the posterior silk glands of Bombyx mori has been isolated and its structure determined as 5-(carboxy-hydroxymethyl)uridine mainly by analyses of its UV, 1H NMR, and FD mass spectra.
