Abstract excerpt
When dTMP in concentrations greater than 100 microM is offered to growing cells of thymidylate low-requiring yeast strains it is both mutagenic and toxic. At exposure concentrations greater than 1 mM dTMP interferes significantly with the low-affinity phosphate permease even in the presence of exogenous phosphate concentrations of 6 mM. Chemical analysis and 31P NMR spectroscopy reveal that excess dTMP disturbs...
