'''Terminase''' (Ter) is a key component of the DNA packaging machine found in bacteriophages and herpesviruses. The Ter complex is comprised of a small Ter subunit which is a recognition subunit and a large Ter subunit which is an endonuclease/translocase subunit <ref>PMID:22297528</ref>. The nuclease activity of the large Ter subunit is stimulated by ATP.
