Application

Anti-Nuclease P1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nuclease P1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3′-5′ phosphodiester bonds in RNA and single-stranded DNA and 3′-phosphomonoester bonds in mono- and oligonucleotides terminated by a 3′-phosphate group without apparent bases specificity. The enzyme is used as a component of nuclease cocktail to generate single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (ODNs) samples for mass spectroscopy research for characterization of oligodeoxyribonucleotides. Nuclease P1 has also been widely used in the food industry to enhance or create flavor.

General description

Nuclease P1 (Nuclease 5′-Nucleotidehydrolase, 3′- Phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.30.1), also known as deoxyribonuclease P1 or endonuclease P1, is a zinc dependent endonuclease. It is isolated from Penicillium citrinum.
