Disease relevance of L-ddTTP

  • beta-L-3'-Deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate (L-ddTTP) and beta-L-3'-deoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine 5'-triphosphate (L-d4TTP) were substrates for human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase, Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow), and Sequenase (modified T7 DNA polymerase) [1].
 

High impact information on L-ddTTP

  • The Km value of reverse transcriptase for L-ddTTP was 50-fold larger than that for D-ddTTP because the Kd for L-ddTTP was 5-fold larger than that for D-ddTTP, and the first-order rate constant for incorporation of L-ddTMP into the template-primer was 10% that of the D-enantiomer [1].
