1. Digestion of the oligonucleotide, AGUACAA, by pancreatic RNase would yield what products?
<br>
<br>OTA: Pancreatic RNAase specifically cleaves after pyrimidines which are cytosine and uracil, so the products would be:
<br>
<br>AGU
<br>AC
<br>AA
<br>
<br>I have attatched a diagram of the mechanism of the cleavage. A brief description of the mechanism follows:
<br>
<br>RNAase has two essential His residues, His 12 and His 19, which act as acid and base catalysts. It is a two step process:
<br>
<br>1. His 12 takes a proton from the RNA 2'-OH group. The oxygen makes a nucleophilic attack on the ...
