5-Vinyl-uridine (VU) is a uridine analog with a terminal alkene. 5-Vinyl-uridine is incorporated into new RNA by RNA polymerases, replacing endogenous uridine. Then, it can be detected rapidly and sensitively through an IEDDA reaction with a tetrazole probe, thereby enabling the monitoring of the transcription process using fluorescence techniques (such as monitoring through microscopes or flow cytometry).
