We report a novel synthetic method to prepare nucleoside 5'-di- and tr
iphosphates simultaneously. Their preparative separation and the possi
bilities to influence the product ratio were investigated. Preliminary
results of the triphosphates to act as phosphate donors for the nucle
oside diphosphate kinase (EC 2.7.4.6) are presented. Copyright (C) 199
