Abstract
N2-(p-n-Octylphenyl)-2′-deoxyguanosine 5′-triphosphate (OctPdGTP)has been synthesized chemically. OctPdGTP inhibited DNA polymerases (pol) α, δ and ε from calf thymus, with moderate selectivity for pol α. Mechanistic studies on pol α and bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase revealed competitive and mixed kinetics of OctPdGTP with respect to the substrate dGTP when the enzymes were assayed on activated DNA and oligo dT:poly dA, respectively.
