CTPαS sodium salt is a modified form of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) where the oxygen at the α-phosphate position is replaced by a sulfur atom. This modification alters the properties of CTP, potentially affecting its biological activity and interactions with enzymes. It finds utility in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to RNA synthesis, RNA modification, and enzymology. The sodium salt form enhances its solubility and stability, facilitating its use in enzymatic reactions or structural studies.
