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.
History: See term history for GO:0004518 at QuickGO
Subset: goslim_drosophila; goslim_chembl; goslim_plant; goslim_yeast
