Abstract

The replacement of the pyrophosphate moiety of deoxynucleoside triphosphates by L-aspartic acid allows incorporation of natural deoxynucleosides into DNA using HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) as enzyme, while retaining the canonical base-pair selectivity. N-Methylation of the L-aspartic acid leaving group results in a reduced fidelity of incorporation.
