A new strategy for the modulation of ribozyme-mediated RNA cleavage may provide investigators with a powerful system for transgene regulation that bypasses the complications associated with ...

Some RNA molecules, called ribozymes, possess catalytic activity and can catalyze chemical reactions. For example, the ribosome itself is a ribozyme, as the rRNA component catalyzes the formation of ...

The large subunit rRNA, in particular, is responsible for the peptidyl transferase reaction, which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis. This discovery ...
