Abstract excerpt
The Rana catesbeiana (bullfrog) ribonucleases, which belong to the RNase A superfamily, exert cytotoxicity toward tumor cells. RC-RNase, the most active among frog ribonucleases, has a unique base preference for pyrimidine-guanine rather than pyrimidine-adenine in RNase A. Residues of RC-RNase in...
