- | + | == Function == | |
- | + | '''Barnase''' (BA, BActerial RiboNucleASE) is a bacterial [[ribonuclease]] synthesized and secreted by the bacterium ''Bacillus amyloliquefaciens''. <ref>PMID:8110767</ref> The inhibitor barstar (BST) binds to it very tightly and prevents it from digestion of the cell’s RNA. | |
- | == | + | == Relevance == |
- | + | BA structure was used extensively for studying protein folding. | |
