Exoribonucleases (also known as exonucleases) are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of single-stranded nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA. They are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and RNA degradation. Exoribonucleases are divided into two classes: 5'→3' exonucleases, which cleave nucleic acids from the 5' end to the 3' end, and 3'→5' exonucleases, which cleave nucleic acids from the 3' end to the 5' end.
Exoribonucleases are used in a variety of research and industrial applications, including gene expression analysis, gene cloning, and DNA sequencing. They are also used in the production of recombinant proteins, as well as in the development of diagnostic tests and therapeutics.
The exoribonuclease market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products. Prominent players in the market include New England Biolabs, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega Corporation, Takara Bio, and Agilent Technologies. Show Less Read more
