A deoxyribonuclease (DNase, for short) is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in the DNA backbone, thus degrading DNA. Deoxyribonucleases are one type of nuclease, a generic term for enzymes capable of hydrolising phosphodiester bonds that link nucleotides. A wide variety of deoxyribonucleases are known, wh...

<enzyme> An endonuclease with preference for DNA. Pancreatic DNAse I yields di and oligo nucleotide 5_ phosphates, pancreatic DNAse II yields 3_ phosphates. In chromatin, the sensitivity of DNA to digestion by DNAse I depends on its state of organisation, transcriptionally active genes being much more sensitive than inactive genes. ... Acrony...
