  • DNA specific exonuclease that also acts as an endonuclease on single-strand DNA
  • Initiates at both 5' and 3' termini of linear double-stranded DNA
  • Cleaves linear double-stranded DNA in both the 3' to 5' and 5' to 3' directions
  • Requires ATP in the reaction
  • Need help finding the right exonuclease for your experiments? Try Exo Selector 

Exonuclease V is ideal for:

  • Degradation of contaminating linear DNA in plasmid samples
  • Removal of residual gDNA after purification of low copy plasmid

    What are exonucleases and their applications?
Exonuclease V, a RecBCD complex from E. coli has several different enzyme activities, including an ATP-dependent single-stranded DNA endonuclease activity, ss- and ds- DNA exonuclease activity. The hydrolysis in each case is bi-directional (from both the 3´ and 5´ ends) and processive, producing oligonucleotides (1,2,3). All Exonuclease V activities have divalent cation requirements. Mg2+ is required for the exonuclease activity, while Ca2+ inhibits the exonuclease activity and allows double-stranded DNA unwinding (helicase activity) without hydrolysis (4,5).
Product Source
