Abstract excerpt
We have studied the mechanism of action of the Serratia nuclease using deoxythymidine 3',5'-bis-(p-nitrophenyl-phosphate) as a substrate. A comparison of the activity with which the wild-type enzyme and several mutant enzymes attack this artificial substrate and herring sperm DNA, respectively, supports the suggestion that His89 is the general base and a Mg2+ ion bound to Glu127 the general acid in the mechanism...
