During in vitro synthesis of DNA, a researcher used 2', 3'-dideoxy cytidine triphosphate as raw nucelotide in place of 2' -deoxy cytidine. What would be the consequnce?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Further polymerisation would not occur, as the 3' OH on suger is not there to add a now nucleotide for formaing ester bond.

During in vitro synthesis of DNA, a researcher used 2'-3'—dideoxycytidine triphosphate as raw nucleotide in place of 2'-deoxy cytidine triphosphate other conditions remaining as standard. Will further polymerisation of DNA continue upto the end or not? Explain.

A DNA template plus primer with the structure (where =a phosphate group ) is placed in an in vitro DNA synthesis system containing Mg^(2+) , an excess of the four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, etc. and a mutant form of E. coli DNA polymerase I that lacks 5'rarr 3' exonuclease activity . The 5' rarr 3' polymerase and 3' rarr 5' exonuclease activities of this aberrant enzyme are identical to this aberrant enzyme are identical to those of normal E. coli DNA polymerase I. It simply has no 5'rarr 3' exonuclease activity . What will be the structure of the final product ?
