Endonuclease II of Escherichia coli is exonuclease III.
Open accessAbstract
Exonuclease III, a phosphatase-exonuclease specific for bihelical DNA, wn the preparation was endonuclease II, an activity specific for DNA that has been partially depurinated by treatment with methyl methanesulfonate. The two activities, which could not be separated by electrophoresis, by sedimentation, or by gel filtration, were associated with a single monomeric protein of 28,000 daltons. To explain how a relatively small protein could have such diverse activities, it is proposed that one site on the enzyme can recognize interstrand spaces created either by depurination or by spontaneous terminal unwinding of a DNA duplex.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
