Abstract

Abstract Dithioate DNA was synthesized and used for various biochemical studies. Results from these studies indicate that dithioate DNA is a potent inhibitor of HIV Reverse Transcriptase, activates endogenous RNase H in Hela cell nuclear extracts, and is a useful probe for studying protein-DNA interactions.
