| Name | nuclease activity |
| ID | GO_0004518 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Description | Catalysis of the hydrolysis of ester linkages within nucleic acids. |
| 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. |
