Exonucleases are enzymes that cleave nucleotides one at a time from an end of a polynucleotide chain. These enzymes hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds from either the 3' or 5' terminus of polynucleotide molecules. A nucleotide is a chemical compound that consists of a heterocyclic base, a sugar, and one or more phosphate groups. ...
Exonucleases are found as individual enzymes, or as parts of larger enzyme complexes. For example, DNA polymerases I II and III all contain exonuclease activity for increased DNA fidelity. DNA polymerase 3D structure. ...
Examples - Exonuclease III. Exonuclease III (ExoIII) is an enzyme that belongs to the exonuclease family. ...

Endonuclease (Restriction enzyme) - Exonuclease - Ribonuclease - RNase H - Deoxyribonuclease - Micrococcal nuclease In biochemistry, a hydrolase is an enzyme that can break a chemical bond by hydrolysis. ... An esterase is an hydrolase enzyme that splits esters into a acid and an alcohol in a chemical reaction with water called hydrolysis. ... A nuclease is an enzyme capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotide subunits of nucleic acids. ... Endonucleases are enzymes that cleave the phosphodiester bond within a nucleotide chain. ... A restriction enzyme (or restriction endonuclease) is an enzyme that cuts double-stranded DNA. The enzyme makes two incisions, one through each of the phosphate backbones of the double helix without damaging the bases. ... Ribonuclease (RNase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of RNA into smaller components. ... The enzyme RNase H (EC 3. ... A deoxyribonuclease (DNase, for short) is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphodiester linkages in the DNA backbone. ... Micrococcal Nuclease (S7 Nuclease) is a endo-exonuclease that preferentially digests single-stranded nucleic acids. ...
Exonucleases may also be called "restriction enzymes" because they split the DNA molecules only at recognized subunits.
Exonucleases are also called phosphoesterases, and hydrolyze phosphodiester bonds from the 3' or 5' terminus of polynucleotide molecules.
Because exonucleases break the bond at the 3' or 5' terminus, the entire nucleotide can be removed from start to finish and separated out from the DNA, to be modified, replaced, or borrowed by the researcher as necessary.
The present invention concerns a method for improving the stability of linear short DNA towards exonucleases in cell-free in vitro transcription/translation systems using lysates containing exonucleases or in cellular systems containing exonucleases, wherein the stability of the linear short DNA is improved by adding unspecific linear DNA.

In this method a plasmid is cleaved with restriction enzymes and the resulting double-stranded non-covalently closed molecules are then modified to form dumbbell-shaped constructs by digesting the ends with a restriction endonuclease that forms single-stranded overhangs and subsequently ligating matching hairpin oligomers onto the resulting single-strand overhangs.
