Pseudouridine
Pseudouridine (5-ribosyluracil, abbreviated by the Greek letter psi- Ψ) is an isomer of the nucleoside uridine in which the uracil is attached via a carbon-carbon instead of a nitrogen-carbon glycosidic bond. Pseudouridine is the most abundant RNA modification in cellular RNA and one of over 100 chemically distinct modifications that may affect translation or other functions of RNA. Pseudouridine is the C5-glycoside isomer of uridine that contains a C-C bond between C1 of the ribose sugar and C5 of uracil, rather than usual C1-N1 bond found in uridine.
