Deoxyribonuclease, or recombinant human deoxyribonuclease 1, is an experimental drug used to treat cystic fibrosis, an inherited lung disease. |
Then a company separated the gene for human deoxyribonuclease, which chops up the protein but does not cause allergic reactions. |
The same year they were awarded the Nobel Prize, Stein and Moore worked out the complete sequence of deoxyribonuclease, a molecule twice as complex as ribonuclease. |
