Fig. 6. Chromatography of CuquEndo hydrolysis of different nucleic acid substrates
on an IECDEAENPR column. (A) PolyT standard used to calibrate the column.
Peaks represent polymers of 20, 15, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2
nucleotides. (B,C) The effect of incubation of double-stranded plasmid DNA
with (B) salivary gland extract or (C) recombinant enzyme-containing
supernatant. Both enzyme sources hydrolyzed the plasmid substrate with no
sequence specificity. (D,E) Negative controls are (D) undigested
double-stranded plasmid DNA and (E) recombinant enzyme-containing supernatant
alone.
