Exonuclease VII

200 units10 U/µl

Description:
Exonuclease VII, (Exo VII) derived from E. coli, cleaves single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from both 5´→3´ and 3´→5´ direction. This enzyme is not active on linear or circular dsDNA. It is useful for removal of single stranded oligonucleotide primers from a completed PCR reaction when different primers are required for subsequent PCR reactions. Digestion of ssDNA by Exonuclease VII is metal-independent.

Applications:

  • Removal of single-stranded oligonucleotide primers after PCR
  • Removal of terminal phosphorothioated ss-oligonucleotide primers after PCR
  • Mapping positions of introns in genomic DNA
  • Removal of single-stranded DNA from dsDNA

Source: An E. coli strain that carries cloned Exonuclease VII (XseA and XseB) genes from E. coli.

Unit Definition:
