The catalytic mechanism, metal dependence, substrate specificity, and biodiversity of ribonuclease H
Ribonucleoside monophosphates are inevitably misincorporated into the DNA genome inside cells, and they need to be excised to avoid chromosome instability. Ribonucleases H (RNases H) are enzymes that specifically hydrolyze the RNA strand of RNA/DNA hybrids or the RNA moiety from DNA containing a str...
