| Description | Lambda Exonuclease is a highly processive 5′→3′ double-stranded exonuclease that degrades one strand of the duplex DNA. Lambda exonuclease can initiate at blunt DNA or DNA containing 3′ single-stranded overhangs. Lambda Exonuclease exhibits low activity on non-phosphorylated DNA, single-stranded DNA and DNA having protruding 5′ single-stranded termini. Lambda exonuclease has no activity at nicks and limited activity at gaps in DNA |
| Applications |
|
| Source | An E. coli strain that carries the Phage lambda exo gene |
| Unit Definition | One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to produce 10 nmol of acid-soluble deoxyribonucleotide from double-stranded substrate in a total reaction volume of 50 μl in 30 minutes at 37°C |
