In the RNase A protein, the removal of six C terminal residues, leaving <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_198/Rnase_1-118/1'>RNase 1-118</scene>, completely halts enzymatic activity (Martin, 1987). However, a complex of RNase 1-118 with a synthetic polypeptide comprising the <scene name='Talk:Sandbox_Reserved_198/Synthetic_component_114-124/1'>C terminal residues 114-124</scene> restores enzymatic activity to RNase A. Upon the addition of the synthetic chain, the semisynthetic enzyme adopts a structure that closely resembles that of natural RNase (Martin, 1987). The restoration of the structure reconstitutes the enzymatic activity of RNase to 98% (Martin, 1987). | ||
