Handhelps and mobile phones to manage students and re- sources in classroom: ¿A new handicap to the teacher?

A ribonuclease molecule altered at a single amino acid, relative to its wild-type form, displays altered substrate specificity and substrate binding mechanism. The altered protein cleaves RNA efficiently after C, U and A residues, whereas the wild-type protein cannot cleave efficiently after A. The change that alters the specificity also permits the protein to cleave poly (A) portions of an RNA molecule processively.
