Ribonuclease (RNase) is the name of a group of enzymes that change ribonucleic acid (RNA) by digesting (cutting) phosphorus-oxygen bonds. The RNases are the subject of wide investigation in the laboratory, though scientists are still learning the many...

Ribonuclease is a type of enzyme which catalyzes the breakdown of bonds in ribonucleic acid (RNA). It plays an important role in the regulation of protein production in cells. There are a wide variety of ribonucleases found throughout nature. The most...

Ribonuclease, abbreviated commonly as RNase, is a nuclease that catalyzes the hydrolysis of RNA into smaller components. They can be divided into endoribonucleases and exoribonucleases, and comprise several sub-classes within the EC 2.7 (for the...

ABSTRACT Two mechanisms have been proposed for the thermal unfolding of ribonuclease S (RNase S). The first is a sequential partial unfolding of the S peptide/S protein complex followed by dissociation, whereas the second is a concerted denaturation/dissociation. The thermal denaturation of ribonuclease S...

ABSTRACT Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) forms two 3-dimensional domain-swapped dimers with different quaternary structures. One dimer is characterized by the swapping of the C-terminal region (C-Dimer) and presents a rather loose structure. The other dimer (N-Dimer) exhibits a very compact structure with exchange...
