nuclease activity

Term Information

Accession
GO:0004518
Name
nuclease activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
None
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids. Source: ISBN:0198547684
Comment
Note that 'tRNA nucleotidyltransferase activity ; GO:0009022', also known as 'ribonuclease PH', and 'DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase activity ; GO:0003906' do not have parentage in the 'nuclease activity' branch of the ontology because both GO and the Enzyme Commission define nuclease activity as a type of hydrolysis.
