Thymidine triphosphate or TTP (sometimes called dTTP, indicating that the pentose has a OH group on the 3' carbon) is one of the four nucleoside triphosphates that are used in the in vivo synthesis of DNA.

It can be used by DNA ligase to create overlapping "sticky ends" so that protruding ends of opened microbial plasmids may be closed up.
