==Overview==
==Overview==
Ribonucleases (RNases) catalyze the cleavage of the phosphodiester bond in, RNA up to 10(15)-fold, as compared with the uncatalyzed reaction. High, resolution crystal structures of these enzymes in complex with, 3'-mononucleotide substrates demonstrate the accommodation of the, nucleophilic 2'-OH group in a binding pocket comprising the catalytic base, (glutamate or histidine) and a charged hydrogen bond donor (lysine or, histidine). Ab initio quantum chemical calculations performed on such, Michaelis complexes of the mammalian RNase A (EC ) and the microbial RNase, T(1) (EC ) show negative charge build up on the 2'-oxygen upon substrate, binding. The increased nucleophilicity results from stronger hydrogen, bonding to the catalytic base, which is mediated by a hydrogen bond from, the charged donor. This hitherto unrecognized catalytic dyad in, ribonucleases constitutes a general mechanism for nucleophile activation, in both enzymic and RNA-catalyzed phosphoryl transfer reactions.
