Abstract excerpt
Nucleotides with a dye attached to the terminal phosphate with four or more phosphates (tetra- or pentaphosphates) are superior substrates than the corresponding triphosphates for DNA and RNA polymerases. When fluorogenic dyes are directly attached to the terminal phosphate, they can be released by the action of polymerase and alkaline phosphatase. The released dye changes color and fluorescence properties. The...
