The effects that replacing one of the non-bridging oxygens of ribonucleoside phosphoesters with sulfur exerts on the kinetics of phosphoester hydrolysis and intramolecular transesterification under various conditions are discussed. The experimental examples refer to the phosphoromonothioate analogs of uridylyl(3',5')uridine, uridine 2',3'-cyclic monophosphate, and uridine 2'- and 3'-monophosphates.
