Abstract excerpt
We have identified a T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutant that efficiently utilizes deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates. In vitro this mutant will synthesize RNA, DNA or 'transcripts' of mixed dNMP/rNMP composition depending on the mix of NTPs present in the synthesis reaction. The mutation is conservative, changes Tyr639 within the active site to phenylalanine and does not affect promoter specificity or overall...
