A 3′ terminal sugar-specific polymerase for terminator-free single-nucleotide extension of RNA oligonucleotides
This paper introduces deoxy-mononucleotide inhibited ligation (dMIL), a fully enzymatic and terminator-free single-nucleotide extension strategy for RNA oligonucleotides that utilizes engineered *E. coli* poly(A) polymerase (EcPAP) to exploit a unique 3′ terminal sugar specificity for precise, high-fidelity synthesis.
