...Dulce Alonso; Alfonso Mondragón Ribozymes are folded catalytic RNA molecules that perform important biological functions. Since the discovery of the first RNA with catalytic activity in 1982, a large number of ribozymes have been reported. While most catalytic RNA molecules act alone, some RNA...

...David M.J. Lilley Recent structural and mechanistic studies have shed considerable light on the catalytic mechanisms of nucleolytic ribozymes. The discovery of several new ribozymes in this class has now allowed comparisons to be made, and the beginnings of mechanistic groupings to emerge...
