Hydrolyzes only single stranded DNA and RNA without apparent specificity for bases. Endonucleolytic cleavage to 5'-phosphomononucleotide and 5'-phosphooligonucleotide end-products.

Description: Nuclease P1, renowned for its specificity to single-stranded regions within double-stranded nucleic acids, acts as an endonuclease by hydrolyzing nucleic acids into 5'-mononucleotides. Its distinct ability to cleave single-stranded portions makes it a pivotal tool in molecular biology, with widespread...
