Exploring and Exploiting Ribonuclease 1: from Protein Biochemistry to Protein Engineering

Ribonuclease (RNase) 1 is a human protein with a remarkable ability to indiscriminately hydrolyze RNA. RNase 1 and its bovine homologue RNase A exhibit ubiquitous expression across tissues, a catalytic efficiency within the diffusion-limited regime, and minimal substrate sequence requirements. RNase...
