Which enzyme is used to remove the phosphate group from 5' end of the DNA?

Mechanistically, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure involves substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. This validates Alkaline phosphatase because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in biochemistry research.

Ref: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Chapter 9, Lipids and Membranes, explains phospholipid components, glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate group and membrane structure providing foundation for lipid biochemistry.
