Inhibition of Ribonuclease II of Escherichia coli by Sodium Ions, Adenosine-5′-Triphosphate, and Transfer Ribonucleic Acid

P Venkov 1, D Schlessinger 1, D Longo 1
PMCID: PMC247108  PMID: 4941574

Abstract

Ribonuclease II action on polyuridylate is competitively inhibited by transfer ribonucleic acid and noncompetitively inhibited by sodium ions. At low substrate levels, adenosine-5′-triphosphate is also inhibitory.
