Identification of ATGCAT sequence at sites of SmuC I restriction endonuclease by computer and physical mapping of adenovirus type 1 DNA.

Physical mapping of adenovirus type 1 DNA was carried out in order to analyze the recognition sequence of a novel Streptococcus restriction endonuclease. In addition to the new map and homology data on this poorly analyzed serotype, the result offers the definite evidence for the ATGCAT recognition sequence on adenovirus DNA and the physical map of cleavage points.
