Abstract excerpt
The hairpin ribozyme can catalyze the cleavage of RNA substrates by employing its conformational flexibility. To form a catalytic complex, the two domains A and B of the hairpin-ribozyme complex must interact with one another in a folding step called docking. We have constructed hairpin ribozyme variants harboring an aptamer sequence that can be allosterically induced by flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Domains A and...
