Screening mutant libraries of T7 RNA polymerase for candidates with increased acceptance of 2′-modified nucleotides

Abstract

We present a screening assay based on fluorescence readout for the directed evolution of T7 RNA polymerase variants with acceptance of 2′-modified nucleotides. By using this screening we were able to identify a T7 RNA polymerase mutant with increased acceptance of 2′-methylseleno-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate.
