VdU (5-Vinyl-2’-deoxyuridine) is a synthetic analog of thymidine that can be used to study de novo DNA synthesis and cell proliferation. It is a potential replacement for BrdU (5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine) or EdU (5-Ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine).

VdU incorporates into replicating DNA during the S-phase of the cell cycle instead of natural thymidine. The resulting vinyl-functionalized DNA can be detected by introducing either a biotin or fluorescent dye group via a cooper-free alkene-tetrazine reaction (also known as Inverse electron demand Diels-Alder ligation or IEDDA) and used for subsequent DNA purification or cell imaging tasks.
