3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP
3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP is a reversible terminator. 3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP can be recognized and incorporated by polymerases, thereby temporarily terminating primer extension during DNA synthesis. After incorporation into the extending DNA strand, 3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP temporarily halts the DNA polymerase extension reaction, and its 3'-O-(2-nitrobenzyl) blocking group can be removed by laser irradiation to regenerate a free 3'-OH for subsequent primer extension cycles. 3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP is applicable for resolving homopolymeric regions in DNA templates.

DNA Polymerase |
3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP (100 pmol) is efficiently and quantitatively incorporated as a substrate by 9°N polymerase (exo-)A485L/Y409V in in vitro DNA extension reactions, forming a complete primer extension product[1].
3'-O-(2-Nitrobenzyl)-dCTP (200 pmol) functions as an effective reversible terminator for pyrosequencing, allowing accurate, single-base resolution deciphering of homopolymeric DNA sequences when used in extension-signal detection-deprotection cycles[1].
