摘要
A branched peptide N alpha, N epsilon-di (L-leucyl)-L-lysine was found to efficiently cleave supercoiled double-strand DNA such as PUC19 DNA at optimum pH 4.0 in 40 mmol/l Britton-Robbinson buffer. The T4 ligase experiment implied that the DNA cleavage occurs via a hydrolytic path. The dependence of the cleavage reaction on the ionic strength indicated that the interaction of DNA with the branched peptide involve only electrostatic binding.
