The hydrolysis of deoxyribonucleic acid by pancreatic deoxyribonuclease was studied using high concentrations of enzyme. An increased production of material soluble in uranyl acetate reagent was obtained. Evidence for heterogeneity in the activity of the enzyme is presented.

Hydrolysis of sodium oligonucleotide by crystalline pancreatic deoxyribonuclease (DNA-ase) has been studied in the presence of different metal ions and the chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA). Although EDTA inhibited the action of DNA-ase when magnesium or cobaltous ions were used as activator, the enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of manganous ions and EDTA. The results are interpreted as indicating the presence of an oligonucleotidase function in the enzyme preparation. A differential assay method for DNA-ase and oligonucleotidase activity has been devised and the evidence obtained gives additional support for this conclusion.

The oligonucleotides obtained from deoxyribonucleic acid by the action of pancreatic deoxyribonuclease in the presence of magnesium ions or manganous ions have been analyzed by ion exchange chromatography and by determination of the relative amounts of purine and pyrimidine deoxynucleotides occupying the 5′-terminal position. Evidence of a difference in the specificity of action of the enzyme that is dependent upon the nature of the metal ion activator employed has been adduced.
