Abstract
The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) belongs to the X family of DNA polymerases. This unusual polymerase catalyzes the template-independent addition of random nucleotides on 3'-overhangs during V(D)J recombination. The biological function and intrinsic biochemical properties of the TdT have spurred the development of numerous oligonucleotide-based tools and methods, especially if combined with modified nucleoside triphosphates. Herein, we summarize the different applications stemming from the incorporation of modified nucleotides by the TdT. The structural, mechanistic, and biochemical properties of this polymerase are also discussed.

Abstract
With high binding affinity, porous structures, safety, green, programmability, etc., DNA hydrogels have gained increasing recognition in the environmental field, i.e., advanced treatment technology of water and analysis of specific pollutants. DNA hydrogels have been demonstrated as versatile potential adsorbents, immobilization carriers of bioactive molecules, catalysts, sensors, etc. Moreover, altering components or choosing appropriate functional DNA optimizes environment-oriented hydrogels. However, the lack of comprehensive information hinders the continued optimization. The principle used to fabricate the most suitable hydrogels in terms of the requirements is the focus of this Review. First, different fabrication strategies are introduced and the ideal characteristic for environmental applications is in focus. Subsequently, recent environmental applications and the development of diverse DNA hydrogels regarding their synthesis mechanism are summarized. Finally, the Review provides an insight into the remaining challenging and future perspectives in environmental applications.
