An enzyme that adds telomeric sequences to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that breaks strands of DNA at internal positions; these enzymes are important tools in recombinant DNA technology.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that brings about the hydrolysis of ATP, by the cleavage of either one phosphate group with the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate, or of two phosphate groups, with the formation of AMP and pyrophosphate.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that can transfer a phosphate from a high energy phosphate such as ATP, to an organic molecule.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses a reaction that links two DNA molecules via the formation of a phospho-diester bond between the 3´ hydroxyl and 5´ phosphate of adjacent nucleotides. It plays an important role in DNA repair and replication. DNA ligase is one of the essential tools of recombinant DNA technology, enabling (among other things) the incorporation of foreign DNA into vectors. The ligase enzyme encoded by phage T4 is commonly used in gene-cloning experiments. It requires ATP as a co-factor. T4 is used <i>in vitro</i> to join the vector and insert DNAs.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the formation of glucose and galactose from lactose.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the formation of polymeric molecules from monomers. A DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA from deoxynucleoside triphosphates using a complementary DNA strand and a primer. An RNA polymerase synthesizes RNA from monoribonucleoside triphosphates and a complementary DNA strand.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the introduction or removal of supercoils in DNA.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the remove of hydrogen atoms in biological reactions.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of double-stranded DNA, using single-stranded DNA as a template.
