In the acid base catalysis of RNA in mammalians, RNase A catalyzes the cleavage of the P-O 5’ bond, and is comprised of two separate processes, the formation of … and subsequent… An important part of the reaction is Histidine’s ability to both accept and donate electrons. This acts as a proton source, allowing Histidine to be utilized as a base or acid, making the reaction pH dependent. | In the acid base catalysis of RNA in mammalians, RNase A catalyzes the cleavage of the P-O 5’ bond, and is comprised of two separate processes, the formation of … and subsequent… An important part of the reaction is Histidine’s ability to both accept and donate electrons.
