Abstract excerpt
We report here an in vitro selected ribozyme, KL17, which is active in charging amino acids on its own 5'-OH group. The ribozyme consists of two catalytic domains, one of which (consisting of P5/P6/L6) recognizes amino acid substrates based on the steric environment of the side chain, whereas the other recognizes an aminoacylated oligonucleotide. The secondary structure of this ambidextrous ribozyme arranges into...
