Abstract
Removal by the light: The photochemical regulation of restriction endonucleases, which are important enzymes in molecular biology, has been investigated. Photolabile protecting groups have been installed on DNA substrates and have been demonstrated to inhibit restriction endonuclease activity until removed by UV light irradiation. Interestingly, these groups do not appear to dramatically affect initial binding of the enzyme to the DNA substrate, but rather prevent recognition of the specific cleavage site.magnified image

Two activated matrices have been developed to determine whether immobilization chemistry can be used to orient proteins on a support. Restriction endonuclease EcoRI from Escherichia coli RY13 (E.C.3.1.23.13) was used as a model in these studies. Thiol-activated Sephadex G-10 was used to couple the E
The restriction endonuclease Pal1 was purified from Providencia alcalifaciens 1650-fold with a yield of 33%. The purified protein moved as a single band upon polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When this was carried out in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, a molecular weight of 31,000 was obta
