We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Oligomers of Bovine Ribonuclease A
Introduction
Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of RNA. RNase A has the capability to structurally form dimers, trimers, and other oligomers based on the monomer (external link). The oligomers are formed by 3D domain swapping, which can occur once or twice per monomeric unit [1]. The 3D domain swapping has no impact on the formation of active sites. These same active sites, which are composed of His 12, Lys 41, and His 119, can be found in the monomer, dimer, and trimer [1].
