Word Map on EC 3.1.21.B3

Reaction

endonucleolytic cleavage of both strands of double-stranded DNA into 5'-protruding forms, with the mismatched base pair in the central position. The enzyme cleaves G/T, G/G, T/T, T/C and A/G mismatches, with a preference for G/T, G/G and T/T. It cleaves the third phosphodiester bond on the 5' side of the mismatched base in both strands, to produce a cohesive end with a five-nucleotide long 5'-protrusion, leaving 5'-phosphate and 3'-hydroxyl termini. =
