Abstract excerpt
The substitution of 2'-fluoro for 2'-hydroxyl moieties in RNA substantially improves the stability of RNA. RNA stability is a major issue in RNA research and applications involving RNA. We report that the RNA polymerase from the marine cyanophage Syn5 has an intrinsic low discrimination against the incorporation of 2'-fluoro dNMPs during transcription elongation. The presence of both magnesium and manganese ions...
