title: [DNA-protein interactions. Destabilizing activity of sheep pancreatic RNAase].
abstract: Evidence is presented that ovine pancreatic ribonuclease, a protein strictly homologous to bovine RNAase A but with one positive charge less, has a definite 'destabilizing' activity (quite similar to that of the bovine enzyme) on double-stranded DNA. This action of sheep pancreas RNAase has been measured by differential spectrophotometry and determining the thermal-transition profiles of the protein-DNA complexes.
