Question

Name at least two types of bonds and their site, which are broken by Exonuclease.

Answer 1

Answer:

phosphodiester bonds

Exonucleases are enzymes that work by cleaving nucleotides one at a time from the end (exo) of a polynucleotide chain. A hydrolyzing reaction that breaks phosphodiester bonds at either the 3′ or the 5′ end occurs.
