Abstract excerpt
The L-21 Tetrahymena ribozyme, an RNA molecule with sequence-specific endoribonuclease activity derived from a self-splicing group I intron, provides a model system for studying the RNA folding problem. A 160 nucleotide, independently folding domain of tertiary structure (the P4-P6 domain) comprises about half of the ribozyme. We now apply Fe(II)-EDTA cleavage to mutants of the ribozyme to explore the role of...
