Phosphodiesterase I

Phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1, 5'-exonuclease, 5'-phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase, oligonucleate 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, 5' nucleotide phosphodiesterase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I, 5'-NPDase, 5'-PDase, 5'-PDE, 5'NPDE, alkaline phosphodiesterase, nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I, orthophosphoric diester phosphohydrolase, PDE I, phosphodiesterase, exonuclease I) is an enzyme with systematic name oligonucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction Phosphodiesterase I (EC 3.1.4.1, 5'-exonuclease, 5'-phosphodiesterase, 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase, oligonucleate 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, 5' nucleotide phosphodiesterase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I, 5'-NPDase, 5'-PDase, 5'-PDE, 5'NPDE, alkaline phosphodiesterase, nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I, orthophosphoric diester phosphohydrolase, PDE I, phosphodiesterase, exonuclease I) is an enzyme with systematic name oligonucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction Hydrolyses both ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides. Has low activity towards polynucleotides.
