Figure 7.
Analysis of the pKa of (filled squares) cytidine in comparison to that of (filled triangles) 5-formylcytidine. UV spectra were collected for the two nucleosides over a range of pH values, pH 2.2–7.0 for cytidine, and a pH 1.1–5.0 for f5C. The absorbance at 280 nm was normalized and plotted against the pH.
