Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Many new ribozymes, including sequence-specific nucleases, ligases and kinases, have been isolated by in vitro selection from large pools of random-sequence RNAs. We are attempting to use in vitro selection to isolate new ribozymes that have, or can be evolved to have, RNA polymerase-like activities. As phosphorimidazolide-activated nucleosides are extensively used to study non-enzymatic RNA...
