Abstract excerpt
Bovine seminal ribonuclease (BS RNase) displays immunosuppressive and antitumor activities on mammalian cells, whereas bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) is not cytotoxic. To learn more about the mechanism of BS RNase cytotoxicity, various mutants and hybrid proteins were prepared. A series of RNase A variants substituted with amino acid residues from BS RNase were prepared. Concerning quaternary structure,...
