QuickView for translesion synthesis (biogroup)
- Description:
- The replication of damaged DNA by synthesis across a lesion in the template strand; a specialized DNA polymerase or replication complex inserts a defined nucleotide across from the lesion which allows DNA synthesis to continue beyond the lesion. This process can be mutagenic depending on the damaged nucleotide and the inserted nucleotide.
- Taxonomy/Path:
- GO : postreplication repair / translesion synthesis
