Ribocytosine, or cytosine (rC) is a pyrimidine ribonucleoside, and is one of the four standard nucleosides that compose an RNA molecule. The presence of the -OH group at the 2'-position of the ribose results in RNA being less stable to DNA (which lacks -OH groups at this position), because this 2'-hydroxyl group can chemically attack the adjacent phosphodiester bond in the sugar-phosphate backbone of RNA, leading to cleavage of the backbone structure. rC forms a Watson-Crick base pair with rG (riboguanosine/guanosine) in RNA duplexes, or dG (deoxyriboguanosine) in RNA-DNA duplexes.
