Differences between Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) in DNA binding and release by the SfiI restriction endonuclease: implications for DNA looping

Many enzymes acting on DNA require Mg(2+) ions not only for catalysis but also to bind DNA. Binding studies often employ Ca(2+) as a substitute for Mg(2+), to promote DNA binding whilst disallowing catalysis. The SfiI endonuclease requires divalent metal ions to bind DNA but, in contrast to many sys...
