DNA phosphorothioate modification-a new multi-functional epigenetic system in bacteria

Synthetic phosphorothioate (PT) internucleotide linkages, in which a nonbridging oxygen is replaced by a sulphur atom, share similar physical and chemical properties with phosphodiesters but confer enhanced nuclease tolerance on DNA/RNA, making PTs a valuable biochemical and pharmacological tool. In...
