    Main Results:

    • Established procedures for creating and validating peroxy nucleoside triphosphate analogues.
    • Adenosine 5'-(beta, gamma-peroxytriphosphate) demonstrated stability under most conditions but degraded at high temperatures.
    • The analogue served as a substrate for NAD+ pyrophosphorylase but inhibited various kinases.
    • Tested peroxy compounds were inactive against E. coli RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase I, and wheat germ RNA polymerase II.

    Conclusions:

    • Beta, gamma-peroxy nucleoside triphosphates are synthetically accessible and possess distinct biochemical properties.
    • These analogues can act as enzyme inhibitors, particularly for kinases, and are generally inactive against major polymerases.
    • The findings provide valuable tools for biochemical research and drug discovery.
