5-Formyl-2-deoxyuridine is a product formed when the 5-methyl group of thymine in DNA undergoes oxidation due to exposure to gamma radiation or certain chemical agents. Serving as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage, 5-formyl-2-deoxyuridine is employed in investigations of DNA damage and repair mechanisms. Additionally, 5-Formyl-2-deoxyuridine can be used in studies involving chemically crosslinking with peptides derived from the RecA protein[1].
