Ribonuclease T2 (EC 3.1.27.1, acid ribonuclease, acid RNase, base-non-specific ribonuclease, Escherichia coli ribonuclease I' ribonuclease PP2, Escherichia coli ribonuclease II, non-base specific ribonuclease, nonbase-specific RNase, nonspecific RNase, ribonnuclease (non-base specific), ribonuclease (non-base specific), ribonuclease II, ribonuclease M, ribonuclease N2, ribonuclease PP3, ribonuclease U4, ribonucleate 3'-oligonucleotide hydrolase, ribonucleate nucleotido-2'-transferase (cyclizing), RNAase CL, RNase (non-base specific), RNase II, RNase M, RNase Ms, RNase T2, ) is an enzyme.[1][2][3][4] It is a type of endoribonuclease. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Two-stage endonucleolytic cleavage to nucleoside 3'-phosphates and 3'-phosphooligonucleotides with 2',3'-cyclic phosphate intermediates
