Introduction
Ribonucleases or RNA depolymerases are ribosomes that catalyze RNA degradation in cells. They are most commonly found in the pancreas because they digest large amounts of RNA excreted by the stomach. The pancreas in ruminants, such as cows, have especially high amounts of ribonucleases in order to process nutrients from cellulose. One such ribonuclease, ribonuclease A or RNase A from cows, has been thoroughly studied due to its prevalence and structure.
