GO:0004518 nuclease activity

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids.

Term Information

ID GO:0004518
Name nuclease activity
Ontology Molecular Function
Definition Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids.
Comment Consider also annotating to the molecular function term 'nucleic acid binding ; GO:0003676'. Note that 'tRNA nucleotidyltransferase activity ; GO:0009022', also known as 'ribonuclease PH', does 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.
