Catalyses DNA-template-directed extension of the 3'- end of a DNA strand by one nucleotide at a time. Cannot initiate a chain de novo. Requires a primer, which may be DNA or RNA. See also EC 2.7.7.49 RNA-directed DNA polymerase.

systematic study of competition PEX experiments with a series of 7-substituted 7-deazapurine and 5-substituted pyrimidine dNTPs bearing substituents of varying bulkiness in the presence of their natural counterparts (unmodified dNTPs). Most of these modified dNRTP's are good to excellent substrates for Bst and KOD XL polymerases and still moderate to good substrates for Pwo and Vent(exo-) polymerases. 7-Deazapurine dNTPs bearing p-electron-containing substituents (ethynyl and phenyl, as well as 7-vinyl-7-deazaadenine) are generally better substrates of Bst polymerase than natural dATP or dGTP, respectively. The corresponding 5-substituted cytosine dNTPs (dCRTP) are comparable to dCTP, whereas the 5-substituted uracil dURTPs are generally worse substrates than TTP. The measured kinetic parameters follow the same trend and confirm that 7-phenyl-7-deazapurine dNTPs have higher affinity to the active site of the polymerase than their natural counterparts
the very good competition of 7-substituted 7-deazapurine dNTPs, and still reasonably good activity of 5-substituted pyrimidine dNTPs, in the presence of their natural counterparts is very encouraging for further development of methods of polymerase synthesis of modified DNA and for possible in cellulo and even in vivo applications if satisfactory delivery of modified dNTPs will be solved
