Abstract excerpt
Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I, EC 3.1.21.1) is an endonuclease that preferentially attacks double-stranded DNA in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner to produce oligonucleotides with 5'-phospho and 3'-hydroxy termini. This review deals with the biochemical properties and molecular evolution of DNase I. A comparative study of vertebrate DNase I from Chondrichthyes to Homo sapiens has been carried out. The optimal pH, the...
