Nucleic Acid Synthesis

Molecular classification: Enzyme complex, Metabolic process

Overview

Nucleic acid synthesis refers to the cellular process of creating new DNA and RNA molecules from nucleotide building blocks. It is fundamental for cell replication, gene expression, and the transmission of genetic information. This process involves various enzymes, including polymerases, primases, and ligases, and can be targeted by antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer drugs.

Mechanism of action

Inhibition of enzymes involved in DNA or RNA synthesis, disruption of nucleotide incorporation, or interference with replication/transcription processes.
