N-nucleotide

N-nucleotide

N-nucleotides, or nontemplated nucleotides are believed to exist only to create diversity at V(D)J junctions (see V(D)J recombination) during lymphocyte development [1]. The addition of these nucleotides is aided by an enzyme called Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)
