Single-Strand specific DNA and RNA endonucleases - CISMeF
Single-Strand specific DNA and RNA endonucleasesMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Single-Strand specific DNA and RNA endonucleases;
MeSH definition : Enzymes that catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of single-stranded regions of DNA
or RNA molecules while leaving the double-stranded regions intact. They are particularly
useful in the laboratory for producing blunt-ended DNA molecules from DNA with single-stranded
ends and for sensitive GENETIC TECHNIQUES such as NUCLEASE PROTECTION ASSAYS that
involve the detection of single-stranded DNA and RNA.;
