The Severo ochoa is an enzyme that was made by scientists Severo Ochoa who won the Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1955.

Explanation:

  • The original name of the enzyme was polynucleotide phosphorylase. The enzyme helped the scientists to understand the fact that hereditary information is contained in the genes that are translated through intermediates of RNA.
  • The function of the enzyme is to dismantle the long RNA chain that starts from the 3'end and moves towards the 5'end.
