Abstract excerpt
Mutation of Asp51 of a base-nonspecific RNase, RNase Rh, to Ser, Thr, or Gln makes the enzyme more preferential for the dinucleoside phosphate (XpY) having G and C at the 5'-side (X). On the other hand the mutation of one of the B1 site components, Tyr57 to Trp, and Trp49 to Phe makes the enzyme more preferential for purine bases and pyrimidine bases, respectively. In this study, to obtain more specific RNases...
