Published: October 2007

An Escherichia coli strain overexpressing a mutant variant of a phosphoribosyl transferase was developed as a catalyst for the efficient preparation of a range of purine nucleotide analogues. This system offers an efficient and rapid method for nucleotide analogue synthesis with 100% beta-selectivity, providing analytically pure product in a single purification step.
