Abstract excerpt
In a continuing effort to explore structural and functional dynamics in RNA catalysis, we have created a series of allosteric hammerhead ribozymes that are activated by theophylline. Representative ribozymes exhibit greater than 3000-fold activation upon effector-binding and cleave with maximum rate constants that are equivalent to the unmodified hammerhead ribozyme. In addition, we have evolved a variant...
