Ribonuclease A digestion by proteinase K.
The digestion of ribonuclease A by proteinase K yielded one major degradation product only, which could not be distinguished from ribonuclease S by electrophoretical and immunological methods. This component (ribonuclease K) possessing full catalytic activity was characterized to be (1--20/21--124) ribonuclease A. Combined action of proteinase K and trypsin on ribonuclease A leads to a significant increase of the inactivation rate which may be useful in the isolation of mRNA from polysomes.
