Enzymatic Breakage of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Enzymatic Breakage and Joining of Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Polynucleotide ligase from Escherichia coli infected with bacteriophage T4 catalyzes the esterification of interrupted phosphodiester bonds (single strand breaks) within a DNA duplex. Purified preparations of the enzyme also catalyze an isotopic exchange reaction between ATP and 3’PPi. However, they do not catalyze a measurable exchange between 3H-AMP and ATP. A radioactively labeled ligaseAMP ...

Enzymatic synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid.

Determination of deoxyribonucleotide sequence in a deoxyribonucleic acid molecule is important from both the chemical and genetic points of view. It is also essential for answering the question of whether DNA synthesized in vitro by polymerase (1, 2) is a faithful copy of the nucleotidel sequence of the primer DNA. Although enzymatically synthesized DNA has the same over-all nucleotide composit...

Enzymatic Synthesis of Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Deoxyribonucleic Acid By

MISSOURI The enzymatic synthesis of DNA1 in sufficient excess over the DNA used to prime the reaction21 a has enabled us to examine the chemical composition of the synthetic product. As has already been demonstrated, this DNA consists of deoxy-nucleotides Linked by typical 3'-5' phosphodiester bonds, and all four of the deoxy

The Enzymatic Phosphorylation of Ribonucleic Acid and Deoxyribonucleic Acid

The specificity of the enzyme purified from TZ-infected Escherichia coli which catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5’hydroxyl ends of ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid has been examined. The enzyme also catalyzes the phosphorylation of 5’-hydroxyl groups of polynucleotides as well as 3’-mononucleotides. There is no detectable phosphorylation of nucleosides and adenosine 2’-phosphate is vi...
