The replacement of the pyrophosphate moiety of deoxynucleoside triphosphates by L ‐aspartic acid allows incorporation of natural deoxynucleosides into DNA using HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) as enzyme, while retaining the canonical base‐pair selectivity. N ‐Methylation of the L ‐aspartic acid leaving group results in a reduced fidelity of incorporation.
