Abstract
The observation that phosphorothioate analogues of the nucleoside triphosphates are substrates for DNA- and RNA-polymerases has proven a boon for the molecular biologist. As these phosphorothioate-containing polymers are stable to degradation by nucleases and the sulfur atom confers many favourable chemical properties, several applications in molecular biology have been developed, including new methods for site-directed mutagenesis and DNA sequencing.Entities:
