 Ribonuclease T1

Ribonuclease T1 (, "guanyloribonuclease", "Aspergillus oryzae ribonuclease", "RNase N1", "RNase N2", "ribonuclease N3", "ribonuclease U1", "ribonuclease F1", "ribonuclease Ch", "ribonuclease PP1", "ribonuclease SA", "RNase F1", "ribonuclease C2", "binase", "RNase Sa", "guanyl-specific RNase", "RNase G", "RNase T1", "ribonuclease guaninenucleotido-2'-transferase (cyclizing)", "ribonuclease N3", "ribonuclease N1") is a fungal endonuclease that cleaves single-stranded RNA after guanine residues, i.e., on their 3' end; the most commonly studied form of this enzyme is the version found in the mold "Aspergillus oryzae".Owing to its specificity for guanine, RNase T1 is often used to digest denatured RNA prior to sequencing.
