Deoxyribonuclease (pyrimidine dimer) (EC 3.1.25.1, endodeoxyribonuclease (pyrimidine dimer), bacteriophage T4 endodeoxyribonuclease V, T4 endonuclease V) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
- Endonucleolytic cleavage near pyrimidine dimers to products with 5'-phosphate
This enzyme acts on a damaged strand, 5' from the damaged site.
