资源简介:
Mass spectrometric analysis of reaction products allows simultaneous characterization of activities mediated by multifunctional enzymes. By use of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, the relative influence of magnesium and manganese promoted exonuclease and phosphatase activities of Esherichia coli exonuclease III have been quantitatively measured, offering a rapid and sensitive alternative to radioactivity quantification and gel electrophoresis procedures for determination of reaction rate constants. Manganese is found to promote higher levels of exonuclease activity, which could be a source of mutagenic effects if this ion were selected as the natural cofactor. Several potential applications of these methods to quantitative studies of DNA repair chemistry are also described.
