Abstract excerpt
Understanding the mechanisms by which ribozymes catalyse chemical reactions requires a detailed knowledge of their structure. The secondary structure of the group I introns has been confirmed by comparison of over 70 published sequences, by chemical protection studies, and by genetic experiments involving compensatory mutations. Phylogenetic data can also be used to identify tertiary interactions in RNA...
