Abstract excerpt
A T7 RNA polymerase in which Tyr639 is mutated to Phe readily utilizes 2'-deoxy, 2'-NH2 and 2'-F NTPs as substrates and has been widely used to synthesize modified RNAs for a variety of applications. This mutant does not readily utilize NTPs with bulkier 2'-substituents, nor does it facilitate incorporation of NTPs with modifications at other positions. Introduction of a second mutation (H784A) into the Y639F...
