The reaction of ribonuclease inhibitor with modified ribonucleases [PDF]
1. The effect of chemical modification of ribonuclease on its reaction with ribonuclease inhibitor has been studied. 2. Removal of free amino groups from the enzyme with nitrous acid or by acetylation did not affect the reaction. Some changes altered the stoicheiometry of the reaction and ribonuclease S was found to be inhibited linearly by increasing ...
