bromouracil meaning

• [Medicine]
  n : a mutagenic uracil derivative C₄H₃N₂O₂Br that is an analog of thymine and pairs readily with adenine and sometimes with guanine during bacterial or phage DNA synthesis
  

• TDG can also remove uracil and 5-bromouracil from mispairings with guanine.
• One of the most common base analogs is 5-bromouracil ( 5BU ), the abnormal base found in the mutagenic nucleotide analog BrdU . When a nucleotide containing 5-bromouracil is incorporated into the DNA, it is most likely to pair with adenine; however, it can spontaneously shift into another isomer which pairs with a different nucleobase, guanine.
