Abstract excerpt
All four 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thio-nucleosides (ddtNTPs) function as substrates for the Y410F mutant of Deep Vent (exo-) DNA polymerase. Not only are the ddtNTPs incorporated to form the N + 1 product, but further elongations are observed in which the key step is attack of the 3'-thiol on the 5'-triphosphate. Although other polymerases are likely to differ in their use of the ddtNTPs, there does not appear to be a...
