Abstract excerpt
By combining comparative sequence analyses and nucleotide replacements, we show that formation of the active center of group II introns rests in part on two novel long-range base-pairing interactions. (1) The last nucleotide of group II introns forms a solitary Watson-Crick base-pair with one of the nucleotides in the short sequence stretch connecting domains II and III. Formation of this base-pair is...
