Question

an enzyme utilising water for catalyzing the removal of nucleotides from ends of nucleic acids called nuclease .this is found in secretions of

a. stomach
b.duodenum
c. exocrine pancreas
d.endocrine pancreas​

Answer 1

Nuclease (enzyme utilising water for catalyzing the removal of nucleotides from ends of nucleic acids) is found in the secretions of EXOCRINE PANCREAS.

• Nuclease is an enzyme falling in the HYDROLASE group of enzyme classification as water is responsible for hydrolysis of the chemical bonds.

• So , it is a class II enzyme.

• Exocrine pancreas secretes this enzyme and this enzyme is responsible for converting nucleic acids to nucleotides.

• At a molecular level , nuclease enzyme clips the phosphodiesterase backbone in the nucleic acids.

• Apart from digestion , this enzyme is also capable of repairing any damage in the DNA during proof-reading , Replication , Base-Exicision repair (BER) , Mismatch repair (MMR), etc.
