Abstract excerpt
A self-cleaving satellite RNA associated with barley yellow dwarf virus (sBYDV) contains a sequence predicted to form a secondary structure similar to catalytic RNA molecules (ribozymes) of the 'hammerhead' class (Miller et al., 1991, Virology 183, 711-720). However, this RNA differs from other naturally occurring hammerheads both in its very slow cleavage rate, and in some aspects of its structure. One striking...
