An Exonuclease Induced by Bacteriophage λ

Open access
Little, John W.·1967·Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

λ exonuclease exhibits a much greater rate of attack on native deoxyribonucleic acid than on denatured DNA, the difference in rate being 350-fold for T7 phage DNA. The attack is exclusively exonucleolytic, and the only acid-soluble products are deoxyribonucleoside 5‘-monophosphates. In contrast to the known Escherichia coli exonucleases, its initial site of attack is at the 5‘ termini of a DNA molecule, with a strong preference for termini bearing a phosphoryl residue as compared with those bearing a free hydroxyl group.

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.
