These RNA catalysts may have pharmaceutical applications. For example, a ribozyme has been designed to cleave the RNA of HIV. If such a ribozyme were made by a cell, all incoming virus …

In this context, there was much rejoicing when a series of papers over the last few years established that the ribosome, that gigantic particle that was always thought to contain a large …

Aug 16, 2025 · Discuss the significance of ribozyme catalysis in the RNA world hypothesis and how modern ribozymes (and engineered artificial ribozymes) inform our understanding of early …

Nov 25, 2025 · Glucosamine-6-phosphate riboswitch ribozyme (gim ribozyme) The glmS ribozyme is a self-cleaving RNA motif found in the 5′-UTR of the glmS gene in many Gram …

Jun 15, 2025 · A ribozyme is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule that can catalyze a specific biochemical reaction, functioning much like a protein-based enzyme. The discovery of …

A ribozyme is an RNA molecule that can cleave phosphodiester bonds independently of protein-based enzymes. It can be delivered in vivo as synthetic oligonucleotides or expressed from …

Jul 24, 2023 · A ribozyme is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) enzyme that catalyzes a chemical reaction. The ribozyme catalyses specific reactions in a similar way to that of protein enzymes.

Nov 27, 2025 · Here, using cryo-EM, SAXS, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the authors create a movie of a medically relevant ribozyme acquiring its functionally active …

Ribozyme (from ribo nucleic acid en zyme) is a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule that can catalyze biochemical reactions, just as as certain protein enzymes act as biological catalysts in …

Ribozyme Notes: Explore ribozyme structure and functions: learn how these RNA molecules catalyze reactions, their diverse roles, and their impact on molecular biology.
