Abstract excerpt
Modeling of the group I intron RNA suggests that its catalytic core is primarily composed of two extended structural elements (stacked helices P5-P4-P6 and P7-P3-P8) whose relative orientation is partially determined by base-triple interactions between paired regions P4 and P6, and single-stranded joining regions J6/7 and J3/4, respectively. In vitro genetic selection was used to isolate functional sequence...
