which enzymes did avery, macleod, and mccarty use in order to identify the genetic material?
rna digesting enzymes
lipid digesting enzymes
dna digesting enzymes
carbohydrate digesting enzymes
Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty used enzymes to break down different macromolecules to determine the genetic material. They used RNA - digesting enzymes (RNases), DNA - digesting enzymes (DNases), and protein - digesting enzymes (proteases). By eliminating RNA, DNA, or proteins one by one and observing the transformation ability of the heat - killed S - strain bacteria extract, they concluded that DNA was the genetic material. Lipid and carbohydrate digesting enzymes were not used in their key experiments for identifying the genetic material.
