Abstract excerpt
The catalytic and folding properties of "DSL ribozyme" were investigated. This artificial ligase ribozyme was constructed by installing a catalytic unit to a designed self-folding RNA. The self-folding RNA was composed of three helices connected via two tertiary interactions that served as scaffolding in the molecular design. The present analysis revealed that the tertiary interaction between the GAAA loop and...
