Note

  • do not confuse entry term POLYDEOXYRIBONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHETASES with entry term POLYRIBONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHETASE

Scope note

  • Poly(deoxyribonucleotide):poly(deoxyribonucleotide)ligases. Enzymes that catalyze the joining of preformed deoxyribonucleotides in phosphodiester linkage during genetic processes during repair of a single-stranded break in duplex DNA. The class includes both EC 6.5.1.1 (ATP) and EC 6.5.1.2 (NAD).

History note

  • 98(77); for DNA LIGASES use POLYNUCLEOTIDE SYNTHETASES 1973-76
