title: 5-IODO-21A/CAMERMAN N, TROTTER J: 5-IODO-2'-DEOXYURIDINE: RELATION OF STRUCTURE TO ITS  ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY.
abstract: The crystal and molecular structure of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine has been determined by x-ray diflraction methods. The most interesting feature of the structure is an unusually short intermolecular distance between the iodine and oxygen of a carbonyl group; this type of bonding may be the molecular basis for the antiviral activity. a different crystal structure.
