    Abstract
    Exonucleases are essential enzymes that remove nucleotides from free DNA ends during DNA replication, DNA repair, and telomere maintenance. Due to their essential role, they are potential targets for novel anticancer and antimicrobial drugs but have so far been little exploited. Here, we present a simple and versatile real-time exonuclease assay based on 2-aminopurine, an intrinsically fluorescent nucleotide that is quenched by neighboring bases when embedded in DNA. We show that our assay is applicable to different eukaryotic and bacterial exonucleases acting on both 3′ and 5′ DNA ends over a wide range of protein activities and suitable for a high-throughput inhibitor screening campaign. Using our assay, we discover a novel inhibitor of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis PHP-exonuclease that is part of the replicative DNA polymerase DnaE1. Hence, our novel assay will be a useful tool for high-throughput screening for novel exonuclease inhibitors that may interfere with DNA replication or DNA maintenance.

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items. For anonymous users the allowed maximum amount is 50 search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
