Human ribonuclease inhibitor (hRI) is a protein that binds to and inhibits ribonucleases. Ribonucleases(RNase) are a family of enzymes that degrade RNA. RNases are often cytotoxic which gives them unique cancer fighting properties. However, when bound to an RI they no longer display catalytic ability.
Interactions between hRI and RNase 1 [1]
