The synthesis of semisynthetic RNasa A clearly exhibits the structure to function relationship that defines proteins. 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<ref>Martin, Philip D., Marilynn S.

However, a complex of RNase 1-118 with a synthetic polypeptide comprising the C terminal residues <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_198/Synthetic_component/3'>111-124</scene> restores enzymatic activity to RNase A.
