Abstract excerpt
The hairpin ribozyme catalyzes RNA cleavage in partially hydrated RNA films in the absence of added divalent cations. This reaction exhibits the characteristics associated with the RNA cleavage reaction observed under standard conditions in solution. Catalysis is a site-specific intramolecular transesterification reaction, requires the 2'-hydroxyl group of substrate nucleotide A(-1), and generates 2',3'-cyclic...
