Title:
ENZYMATIC RNA SYNTHESIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/077227
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Described herein are methods for the controlled de novo synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides using enzymatic catalysis. For example, provided herein are methods for preparing RNA oligonucleotides via controlled, template-independent addition of nucleotides to an initiator oligonucleotide 3'- terminus via enzymatic catalysis (also known as terminal transferase activity). Single nucleotides can be iteratively added by a compatible polymerase (e.g., a poly(N) polymerase such as a poly(U) polymerase) until a desired RNA oligonucleotide sequence is synthesized. Also provided are nucleotides and polymerases useful in the methods described herein.
