T7 Endonuclease I recognizes and cleaves mismatched DNA, heteroduplex DNA, cruciform DNA, Holliday structures and/or junctions, as well as nicked double-stranded DNA. This enzyme has a preference for single stranded over double stranded DNA with cleavage occurring at the first, second or third phosphodiester bond that is 5´ to the mismatch.
Description
