Biophysical and biochemical properties of ribonucleases

Ribonuclease Tm (°C)a kcat/KM (M−1s−1)b
RNase A 63 (4.3 ± 0.3) × 107
fluorescein–RNase A 61 (0.54 ± 0.02) × 107
ONC 90 (3.5 ± 0.1) × 102
DTNB–ONC 88 (1.7 ± 0.2) × 102
a

Values of Tm (± 1 °C) were determined in PBS by UV spectroscopy.

b

Values of kcat/KM (± SE) are for the catalysis of 6-FAM–dArU(dA)2–6-TAMRA cleavage at (23 ± 2) °C in 0.10 M MES–NaOH buffer (pH 6.0) containing NaCl (0.10 M).
