Description

5,6-Dihydrothymine (DHT) is a reduced form of thymine, a major component of DNA. It is a product of thymine's reaction with hydroxyl radicals, which are highly reactive species that can damage DNA. The formation of DHT can lead to mutations and ultimately cell death. The study of DHT is important for understanding the mechanisms of DNA damage and repair, as well as the development of potential therapeutic strategies for preventing and treating DNA damage-related diseases.'
