Application

1-β-D-Arabinofuranosylthymine (araT):
  • maybe used as a substrate and inhibitor to study the specificity and kinetics of thymidine kinase(s), such as herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 thymidine kinases, the HSV1-tk and, HSV2-tk gene products.
  • is used to study the specificity and kinetics of various mitochondrial nucleoside kinases.
  • has been used as an antiviral agent to study its efficacy on Cryptosporidium parvum in vitro.
