Biotechnology Enzymes

?
Reverse transcriptase
An enzyme used to generate complementary DNA from an RNA template, a process termed reverse transcription
1 of 6
DNA ligase
Forms phosphodiester bonds, forming the sugar phosphate backbone
2 of 6
DNA helicase
Removes histone coat and unpackages genes. Motor enzymes that move directionally along a nucleic acid phosphodiester backbone, separating two annealed nucleic acid strands
3 of 6
RNA polymerase
An enzyme necessary for constructing RNA chains using DNA genes as templates, a process called transcription
