Endodeoxyribonuclease
Class of enzymes which cleave DNA
In biochemistry, an endodeoxyribonuclease is a class of enzyme which is a type of deoxyribonuclease (a DNA cleaver), itself a type of endonuclease (a nucleotide cleaver). They catalyze cleavage of the phosphodiester bonds in DNA. They are classified with EC numbers 3.1.21 through 3.1.25.
Examples include:
- DNA restriction enzymes
- micrococcal nuclease
