Abstract excerpt
Precursor tRNA (ptRNA) substrates carrying a single Rp or Sp-phosphorothioate modification at the RNase P cleavage site were used as tools to study the cleavage mechanism of RNase P RNA from Bacillus subtilis. Both the Sp and the Rp-diastereomer reduced the rate of processing at least 10(4)-fold under conditions where the chemical step is essentially rate-limiting. Neither the Rp nor the Sp-phosphorothioate...
