  • DNA specific exonuclease
  • Catalyzes the removal of nucleotides from linear or nicked double-stranded DNA in the 5' to 3' direction
  • Highly processive degradation of double-stranded DNA from the 5' end
  • Preferred substrate is 5'-phosphorylated double-stranded DNA although non-phosphorylated substrates are degraded at a greatly reduced rate
  • Need help finding the right exonuclease for your experiments? Try Exo Selector 

Lambda Exonuclease is ideal for:

  • Conversion of linear double-stranded DNA to single-stranded DNA via preferred activity on 5'-phosphorylated ends

Highlights
Isolated from a recombinant source
Highly processive 5'→3' exonuclease
Supplied in 10X Reaction Buffer
Product Source
A genetic fusion of the E. coli Lambda Exonuclease gene with the gene encoding maltose binding protein (MBP). Following affinity chromatography, Lambda Exonuclease is cleaved from the fusion construct and purified away from MBP.
