Rational design is a potent strategy for developing ribozymes with advanced functionalities. Engineered variants of the hairpin ribozyme impressively demonstrate how function can be tuned through structural manipulation. The engineering of nucleic acids has been a longstanding objective in research, with the field gaining significant attention ...

A fast, efficient and sequence-independent method for flexible multiple segmental isotope labeling of RNA using ribozyme and RNase H cleavage [PDF]
Structural information on RNA, emerging more and more as a major regulator in gene expression, dramatically lags behind compared with information on proteins.

Isotope labeling strategies for NMR studies of RNA [PDF]
The known biological functions of RNA have expanded in recent years and now include gene regulation, maintenance of sub-cellular structure, and catalysis, in addition to propagation of genetic information.

Structural Biology of RNA and Protein‐RNA Complexes after AlphaFold3
AlphaFold is a great research accelerator and hypothesis generator for structural biology and beyond. With the release of AlphaFold3, RNA and protein‐RNA complex structure prediction is readily possible. This review assesses the reliability of these predictions.

RNA-directed construction of structurally complex and active ligase ribozymes through recombination [PDF]
RNA-directed recombination can be used to catalyze a disproportionation reaction among small RNA substrates to create new combinations of sequences. But the accommodation of secondary and tertiary structural constraints in the substrates by recombinase ribozymes has not been explored.

RNA-Catalyzed RNA Ligation on an External RNA Template [PDF]
Variants of the hc ligase ribozyme, which catalyzes ligation of the 3′ end of an RNA substrate to the 5′ end of the ribozyme, were utilized to evolve a ribozyme that catalyzes ligation reactions on an external RNA template. The evolved ribozyme catalyzes

Decoupling Activity and Specificity in Coronazymes
A new Au nanoparticle (AuNP) based nanozyme, aptamer–coronazyme, which demonstrates ≈30 times higher activity on d‐glucose than the pristine AuNP nanozymes, is designed and characterized. This coronazyme shows long‐range chiral specificity controlled by circularly polarized lights and catalytic reactivity modulated by short‐range intermolecular forces.

Microfluidic‐based directed evolution is a powerful tool for selection of biopolymers, however they struggle in transferability to intracellular environments. The “biomimetic equivalence” principle provides a versatile and practical framework for developing biopolymers that function effectively in cells using a cell‐free approach.

The 2'-5' RNA Ligase of Escherichia coli: Purification, Cloning, and Genomic Disruption [PDF]
An RNA ligase previously detected in extracts of Escherichia coli is capable of joining Saccharomyces cerevisiae tRNA splicing intermediates in the absence of ATP to form a 2-5 phosphodiester linkage (Greer, C., Javor, B., and Abelson, J. (1983) Cell 33,

Abstract Viral infections are major contributors to crop yield loss and represent a significant threat to sustainable agriculture. Plants respond to virus attacks by activating sophisticated signalling cascades that initiate multiple defence mechanisms.
