Abstract excerpt
The RNase H family of enzymes degrades RNA in RNA.DNA hybrids in a divalent cation-dependent manner. RNases H from diverse sources such as Escherichia coli and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) share homologous metal-binding active sites, and the activity of the RNase H domain of reverse transcriptase (RT) is required for retroviral replication. The isolated RNase H domain from HIV RT, however, is inactive. In...
