1. A method of protecting a 3′
- end of a DNA molecule from exonuclease damage comprising the step of exposing the DNA molecule to an amount of a pure preparation of DdrA protein effective to decrease exonuclease damage in relation to natural exonuclease damage that would occur in the absence of DdrA, wherein the DdrA protein consists of SEQ ID NO;
