Abstract excerpt
Group I ribozymes are naturally occurring catalytic RNAs that are able to excise themselves as introns (group I introns) from a precursor RNA, and to ligate the flanking exons. Group I ribozymes can be engineered to act in trans by recognizing a separate RNA molecule in a sequence specific manner, and to covalently link an RNA sequence to this separate RNA molecule. This ribozyme transesterification reaction has...
