This product is sold for in vitro research use only under license from Brookhaven National Laboratory, U.S. Patent Nos. 4,952,496; 5,693,489; and 5,869,320.
Exonuclease I digests ssDNA in the 3′→ 5′ direction, leaving ds DNA molecules and the 5'-terminus intact. Digestion is inhibited by 3′ -terminal phosphates. The enzyme can work in a range of buffer conditions and can usually tolerate buffers containing magnesium.
