Enzymatic incorporation of 2-amino-6-vinylpurine derivative.

Modified nucleotides are incorporated by enzymatic reactions into a DNA oligonulceotide to provide additional functionalities, which has shown potential applications in a wide variety of fields. A large number of modified nucleotide triphosphates have been incorporated to DNA or RNA by polymerases. We have previously described that the sulfide derivatives (1) of 2-amino-6-vinyl purine nucleoside (2, AVP) are activated within duplex to form …
