Functional Analysis of Hairpin Ribozyme Active Site Architecture [PDF]
The hairpin ribozyme is a small catalytic motif found in plant satellite RNAs where it catalyzes a reversible self-cleavage reaction during processing of replication intermediates. Crystallographic studies of hairpin ribozymes have provided high resolution views of the RNA functional groups that comprise the active site and stimulated biochemical ...

A Conserved Target Site in HIV-1 Gag RNA is Accessible to Inhibition by Both an HDV Ribozyme and a Short Hairpin RNA [PDF]
Antisense-based molecules targeting HIV-1 RNA have the potential to be used as part of gene or drug therapy to treat HIV-1 infection. In this study, HIV-1 RNA was screened to identify more conserved and accessible target sites for ribozymes based on the ...

Kinetic Mechanism of the Hairpin Ribozyme [PDF]
To investigate the relationship between RNA folding and ribozyme catalysis, we have carried out a detailed kinetic analysis of four structural derivatives of the hairpin ribozyme. Optimal and suboptimal (wild-type) substrate sequences were studied in conjunction with stabilization of helix 4, which supports formation of the
