Application

Thymidine 5′-triphosphate (dTTP) is one of the four natural deoxynucleotides, along with deoxyadenosine 5′-triphosphate (dATP), deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate (dGTP) and deoxycytosine 5′-triphosphate (dCTP) used for the biosynthesis of deoxyribonucleic acids by DNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases. Deoxy-TTP may also be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of thymidine-triphosphatase(s) (EC 3.6.1.39) and other dTTP hydrolyzing activities.
Thymidine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt has been used:
  • in the quenching ability test for dual-aptamer and multiple-nucleotide detection based on a multiple-aptamer/GO-nS complex
  • to study protein-metabolite interactions in the central metabolism of Escherichia coli
  • in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product formation using AM-toxin primers

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thymidine triphosphate is a building block of DNA. It acts as an allosteric regulator of other nucleotides′ metabolism.

Blood cultures are considered the gold standard to distinguish bacteremia from non-bacteremic systemic inflammation. In current clinical practice, bacteraemia is considered unlikely if blood cultures have been negative for 48-72 hours. Modern BC systems have reduced this time-to-positivity (TTP), questioning
