Abstract excerpt
The intriguing process of free energy conversion, ubiquitous in all living organisms, is manifested in ATP binding and hydrolysis. ATPase activity has long been recognized to be a capability limited to proteins. However, the presence of an astonishing variety of unknown RNA species in cells and the finding that RNA has catalytic activity have bred the notion that RNA might not be excluded from the group of...
