Viral DNA Synthesis

Molecular classification
Enzyme, Other
01

Overview

Viral DNA synthesis refers to the process by which viruses replicate their DNA genome within a host cell. This process is essential for viral propagation and involves the coordinated action of viral and host-encoded enzymes and proteins, including polymerases, helicases, primases, and origin-binding proteins. Inhibition of viral DNA synthesis is a major target for antiviral drug development.
