Ribonucleases [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleases] or RNA depolymerases are enzymes that catalyze RNA degradation | Ribonucleases [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribonucleases] or RNA depolymerases are enzymes that catalyze RNA degradation. Ribonucleases are most commonly found in the pancreas because of their ability to digest large amounts of RNA excreted by the stomach. The pancreas in ruminants, such as cows, have especially high amounts of ribonucleases in order to process nutrients from cellulose based plants. One such ribonuclease, ribonuclease A or RNase A from cows, has been thoroughly studied due to its prevalence and structure. | ||
