We used a series of dNTP analogues in conjunction with templates containing modified bases to elucidate the role that N(2) of a purine plays during dNTP polymerization by human DNA polymerase alpha. Removing N(2) from dGTP had small effects during
Steady-state and pre-steady-state kinetic constants were determined for reverse transcriptase catalyzed incorporation of nucleotides and nucleotide analogues into defined-sequence DNA primed-RNA templates. 3'-Azido-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate (AZTTP) was almost as efficient a substrate (kcat/Km) as dTTP for the enzyme. In contrast, the

Reverse transcription (RT) is the synthesis of complementary deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) from single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) templates. This process is catalyzed by the reverse transcriptase enzyme, which is the replicating enzyme of retroviruses. Reverse transcriptase was discovered in 1970, and
