Abstract excerpt
The Tetrahymena group I ribozyme catalyzes the cleavage of a phosphodiester linkage in specific sequences of RNA. This phenotype can be used in an in vitro selection-amplification process to evolve variants that are capable of RNA catalysis in the presence of Ca(2+) as the sole available cation. With sufficient genotypic characterization of the population as it evolves, we have a rare opportunity of observing how...
