Ribozymes: structure and mechanism in RNA catalysis
Trends Biochem Sci.
1996 Jun.
Abstract
The hammerhead RNA is a small catalytic RNA found in a number of RNA virus genomes and virus-like RNAs. The recently determined crystal structures of hammerhead ribozymes reveal how a small RNA motif can fold up into a conformation suitable for mediating RNA cleavage.
