deoxycytosine

Deoxycytosine is a nucleobase that contains a hydrogen atom and an ammonia group rather than a carbon-carbon double bond found in cytosine. It is the deoxyribosil fuoronym of the nucleobase cytosine. Deoxycytosine is a common constituent of DNA, one of the four bases that make up the genetic code alongside adenine, thymine, and guanine. Due to the presence of the aldehyde group in the sugar moiety, the pentose sugar linked to deoxycytosine is referred to as deoxyribose, as opposed to ribose.

Deoxycytosine is a hydrogen donator when purine or large aromatic heterocycles such as guanine are in the vicinity, which is why it is relatively abundant in RNA. The A content of DNA determines how the sequence and the codons for an amino acid are deemed necessary in the genetic code. In other words, the four-letter code A=T and C=G settled the fate of the five-codon code. The deoxy C blast strictly limits prophage-associated virus mutation.

Chemically deoxycytosine is formed through the reduction of 5-carbon deoxycytosine aldehyde to a non-planar and non-coplanar structure.
