Question

What are the differences between Exonucleases and Endonucleases. explain in brief​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between these enzymes is that endonucleases cleave the phosphodiester bond in the polynucleotide present internal in the polynucleotide chain, whereas exonucleases cleave the phosphodiester bond from the ends

Answer 2

Some of the differences between Exonucleases and Endonucleases are:

$exonucleases$

1. These nucleases cleave base pair of DNA at their terminal ends.
2. They act on single strand of DNA or gaps in double stranded DNA.
3. They do not cut RNA.

$endonucleases$

1. They cleave DNA at any point except the terminal ends.
2. They cleave one strand or both strands of double stranded DNA.
3. They may cut RNA.
