Abstract excerpt
T7 RNA polymerase is an important biocatalyst that is used in diverse biotechnological applications such as in vitro transcription or protein expression. The enzyme displays high substrate specificity which is payed by significant limitations regarding incorporation of synthetic nucleotide analogs. Of specific interest is enzymatic synthesis of 2'-O-methyl-modified RNA as these nucleic acids exhibit improved...
