| Abstract | It has been reported that His-119 of ribonuclease A plays a major role as an imidazolium ion acid catalyst in the cyclization/cleavage of normal dinucleotides but that it is not needed for the cyclization/cleavage of 3'-uridyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate. We see that this is also true for simple buffer catalysis, where imidazole (as in His-12 of the enzyme), but not imidazolium ion, plays a significant catalytic role with the nitrophenyl substrate, but both are catalytic for normal dinucleotides such as uridyluridine. Rate studies show that the enzyme catalyzes the cyclization of the nitrophenylphosphate derivative 47,000,000 times less effectively (kcat/kuncat) than it does uridyladenosine, indicating that approximately 50% of the catalytic free energy change is lost with this substrate. This suggests that the nitrophenyl substrate is not correctly bound to take full advantage of the catalytic groups of the enzyme and is thus not a good guide to the mechanism used by normal nucleotides. The published data on kinetic effects with ribonuclease A of substituting thiophosphate groups for the phosphate groups of normal substrates has been discussed elsewhere, and it was argued that these effects are suggestive of the classical mechanism for ribonuclease action, not the novel mechanism we have recently proposed. The details of these rate effects, including stereochemical preferences in the thiophosphate series, can be invoked as support for our newer mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
