Venom exonuclease chemical nature

Very little is known about the chemical nature and physical properties of venom exonuclease we simply do not have a preparation pure enough to warrant such studies. This regrettable state of affairs is caused in part by the high price of the starting material. No laboratory can afford a macroscale purification procedure. Therefore, the major aim up to the present time has been to obtain a preparation free from the contaminants that interfere with a specific use of the enzyme. This approach resulted in a number of preparations that varied not only in specific activity of exonuclease but also in the nature, and quantity of contaminants. The criteria used to describe these remaining contaminating activities vary. Such statements as below the level of detection are helpful only if the level is specified. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
