ABSTRACT:
A strand-specific polynucleotide nickase comprising an endonuclease which comprises a first subunit and a second subunit and which recognises an asymmetric nucleotide recognition sequence, wherein the first subunit comprises a catalytic domain capable of cleaving one strand of a DNA duplex, and the second subunit is incapable of cleaving the other strand of the DNA duplex.
