Terminal Transferase (TdT)

Terminal transferase (TdT) is a template independent polymerase that catalyzes the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3' hydroxyl terminus of DNA molecules. It catalyzes the repeated addition of deoxyribonucleotides to oligodeoxyribonucleotides and 3' -Oh of single - and double-stranded DNA. TdT requires an oligodeoxynucleotide of at least three bases as a primer. The addition of Co2+ in the reacton makes tailing more efficient.
