Fig 6. Potential base pairing of nucleoside triphosphate forms of 3a and 3b.

Fig 6

Once converted to the active nucleoside triphosphate forms, mutagens 3a and 3b may adopt different conformations due to the rotation of the amide bond allowing these compounds to mimic GTP and base pair with C or mimic ATP and base pair with U.
