Ribozymes: structure, characteristics and use as potential antiviral agents
J Hepatol.
1995.
Abstract
Ribozymes are RNA molecules that can cut or ligate other RNA molecules catalytically. Several different ribozymes have been studied. In this paper, the hammerhead and the hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozymes are described, as well as their possible use as antiviral therapy.
