Solution
The correct option is A Nucleotidase A nucleotidase is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a nucleotide into a nucleoside and a phosphate. A nucleotide + water (H20) = A nucleoside and a phosphate.For example, it converts an adenosine monophosphate to adenosine, and guanosine monophosphate to guanosine.
