Affinity chromatography of peptidylarginine deiminase from rabbit skeletal muscle on a column of soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz)-Sepharose.

abstract：:Endonuclease V (Endo V) is a DNA repair enzyme that recognizes deoxyinosine and cleaves the second phosphodiester bond on the 3' side of the deaminated base lesion. A database search revealed the presence of homologous genes for Endo V in most archaeal species, but the absence in some methanogenic species. We cloned a...
