  Nuclease Summary
Nucleases are enzymes that break the chemical bonds, called phosphodiester bonds, that hold the nucleotides of DNA or RNA polymers together.
A nuclease is an enzyme capable of cleaving the phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotide subunits of nucleic acids.
Nucleases are further described by addition of the prefix "endo" or "exo" to the name: The term "endonuclease" applies to sequence specific nucleases that break nucleic acid chains somewhere in the interior, rather than at the ends, of the molecule.

 Patent 6,524,578
The nuclease solution discussed herein is formed by combining an amount of water capable of effectively covering a desired portion of skin, with an effective amount of nuclease of sufficient concentration to readily digest extra-cellular DNA and/or RNA, and an effective amount of nuclease co-factor sufficient to activate the nuclease.
Furthermore, the nuclease solution may be applied to a subject in an amount equal to from about 0.5 milliliters of nuclease solution per square centimeter of skin to about 10 milliliters of nuclease solution per square centimeter of skin.
The process is in essence a two part process whereby the exogenous nuclease degrades extra-cellular polynucleotides and oligonucleotides, which leads to a change in equilibrium between the extra-cellular polynucleotides/oligionucleotides and the intra-cellular polynucleotides/oligonucleotides, resulting in a passage of nucleotides from the cytoplasm of the cell to the extra-cellular fluid.

 United States Patent Application: 0040091886
This method entails the treatment of heteroduplex DNA sequences with a nuclease (preferably, DNase I) and a polymerase (preferably, DNA polymerase I), the enzymes primarily involved in nick translation.
The reaction carried out by a nuclease and polymerase, particularly with DNaseI and Pol I is akin to that of nick translation and is, thus, referred to as such throughout the specification.
Accordingly, the combination of these molecules (the polymerase and nuclease) or, in the alternative, the polymerase (when the heteroduplex is nicked) is referred to as a heteroduplex repair system.

 Ambion, Inc. - Nuclease Protection Assays: The Basics
Nuclease protection assays (NPAs), including both ribonuclease protection assays (RPAs) and S1 nuclease assays, are an extremely sensitive method for the detection, quantitation and mapping of specific RNAs in a complex mixture of total cellular RNA.
Nuclease digestion, product separation on a denaturing 6% acrylamide gel, and a four-hour exposure to film at -80°C were used to assess hybridization levels.
A region of the single-stranded, antisense probe must typically be completely homologous to target RNA to prevent cleavage of the probe:target hybrid by nuclease.

 Mung Bean Nuclease FAQs, Nucleases, New England Biolabs
Mung Bean Nuclease can be used to chew back a 3' extension, but DNA Polymerase I, Large (Klenow) Fragment may be a slightly better choice due to Mung Bean Nuclease's ability to act at nicks and degrade ends as they "breathe".
Although Mung Bean Nuclease can inactivated by heat, this is not recommended because the DNA begins to "breathe" before the Mung Bean Nuclease is inactivated and undesirable degradation occurs at breathing sections.
Further, since the endonucleic activity is known to occur at 'bubbles' on the DNA helix, which transiently form along the length of the molecule, substrates which are already nicked, or are of high AT content are more susceptible to this endonucleic activity.

Esterases include lipases, which break ester bonds (between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol) in lipids, and phosphatases, which act analogously upon phosphates; a narrower category comprises the nucleases, which are phosphatases that hydrolyze nucleic acids.

Mung Bean Nuclease is a single-strand-specific nuclease purified from sprouts of the mung bean Vigna radiata.
Because Mung Bean Nuclease has higher specificity for single-stranded DNA and RNA than S1 Nuclease, it is the enzyme of choice for most applications requiring a single-strand-specific nuclease.
The enzyme is also tested to ensure that the level of double-stranded nuclease activity is less than 0.05% of the single-stranded nuclease activity, and it is free of phosphatase activity.
