Numbering of Uracil atoms in Pseudouridine false
It's an Uracil to which an furan is attached, so Uracil is the main cycle. So the numbering of the Uracil atoms does not change. So the furan cycle is connected to the Uracil at the postion 5, not 6. That's consistent with the IUPAC name.
Because of the widespread use of this picture, it should be corrected.
