| Method |
To test the above
hypothesis, that the mode of DNA cleavage by the EcoRV
restriction enzyme is determined primarily by its fractional saturation with Mg2+, researchers used single turnover and transient
kinetic methods to analyze DNA cleavage by EcoRV at both
pH 7.5 and pH 6.0. Evaluation of k1 and k2 from single turnovers of
EcoRV at pH 6.0 and 10 mM MgCl2 yielded average values
of 1.7 min^-1 for k1 and 0.9 min^-1 for k2. For k1 and k2 see comments section |
| Comments |
DNA cleavage by the EcoRV restriction enzyme must involve the intermediates: (E1•E2)(S1•S2)?k1?(E1•E2)(P1•S2)?k2?(E1•E2)(P1•P2) where (E•E) is the protein dimer, (S•S) is the DNA duplex
with an intact EcoRV recognition site, and (P•S) and (P•P)
are DNA molecules cut at the EcoRV site in either one or both
strands (eq. 1 p. 1775 left column). |
