✦ Synopsis


DNA polymerase enzymes process their natural substrates with very high specificity. Yet recent experiments have shown that these enzymes can also process DNA in which the backbone or bases are modified to a surprising degree. Such experiments have important implications in understanding the mechanisms of DNA replication, and suggest important biotechnological uses as well.

New triphosphate derivatives of carbocyclic nucleoside analogues have been synthesized and shown to be potent substrates for terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase and/or HIV reverse transcriptase; the compounds are stable to dephosphorylation with human placental alkaline phosphatase.

We report a combinatorial approach aimed at producing in a single step a large family of nucleoside triphosphate derivatives that could be tested for their ability to be substrates for DNA polymerases. We propose as a unique triphosphate building block a nucleotide with a hydrazine function anchored
