Question

Which nucleotide lacks a \(3^{\prime}\)-OH group?

• A. ddTTP
• B. dATP
• C. dGTP
• D. dCTP

Hint:

\[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{dNTP} &\rightarrow \text{Has }3^{\prime}\text{-OH} \text{ddNTP} &\rightarrow \text{No }3^{\prime}\text{-OH} \rightarrow \text{Chain termination} \end{aligned} } \] ddNTPs are used in the Sanger DNA sequencing method.
