'''Barnase''' (BA, BActerial RiboNucleASE) is a bacterial ribonuclease synthesized and secreted by the bacterium ''Bacillus amyloliquefaciens''. The inhibitor barstar (BST) binds to it very tightly and prevents it from digestion of the cell’s RNA. | '''Barnase''' (BA, BActerial RiboNucleASE) is a bacterial ribonuclease synthesized and secreted by the bacterium ''Bacillus amyloliquefaciens''.
