+Compounds that enhance the tailing activity of Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase.

+[[!pmid 28747695 desc="rA, r/dG, r/dC are potent enhancers of tailing. In longer reactions, GMP, GDP or CDP promote continuous extension of the tail. Reactions performed with 100 fmols of substrate DNA, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 75 mM KCl, 6 mM MgCl2, 2 mM DTT, 4 mM dATP, dCTP, dGTP, or dTTP, 4 mM MnCl2, and 50 U MMLV-RT, at 30 °C."]]

specific tailing is enhanced by the complementary dNMP (C enhanced by dGMP,
etc.), except for A-tailing, which is already the strongest.
+ - Other nucleotides than dNMPs can enhance tailing. In particular, rA, dA, dG
+ and dC potently induce tailing, and GMP, GDP and CDP induce continuous
+ tailing when longer reaction times are allowed ([[Ohtsubo et al.,
+ 2017b|biblio/28747695]]).
