Although various functions of RNA are carried out in conjunction with proteins, some
catalytic RNAs, or ribozymes, which contribute to a range of cellular processes, require little …

The hammerhead ribozyme is a small catalytic RNA motif capable of endonucleolytic (self-)
cleavage. It is composed of a catalytic core of conserved nucleotides flanked by three …

Hammerhead ribozymes are small self-cleaving RNAs that promote strand scission by
internal phosphoester transfer. Comparative sequence analysis was used to identify …

New regulatory RNAs with complex structures have recently been discovered, among them
the first catalytic riboswitch, a gene-regulatory RNA sequence with catalytic activity. Here we …

Since the 1980s, several small RNA motifs capable of chemical catalysis have been
discovered. These small ribozymes, composed of between approximately 40 and 200 …

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV)-like ribozymes are self-cleaving catalytic RNAs with a
widespread distribution in nature and biological roles ranging from self-scission during …

RNA catalysis seems to be considerably more wide spread than originally thought, with the
most prominent example being the ribosome, where RNA catalyses the peptidyl-transferase …

Compensatory mutations in RNA are generally regarded as those that maintain base
pairing, and their identification forms the basis of phylogenetic predictions of RNA secondary …

Man verzeihe mir, dass ich auf eine namentliche Erwähnung (auch ehemaliger) Mitarbeiter
des Instituts verzichte, die mir nicht nur fachlich, sondern auch persönlich zu Seite …

Investigating correlations is the key to understanding the nature of biological systems. In
general, correlations describe the relationship between data sets or specific characteristics …
