A Faster Triphosphorylation Ribozyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In support of the RNA world hypothesis, previous studies identified trimetaphosphate (Tmp) as a plausible energy source for RNA world organisms. In one of these studies, catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) that catalyze the triphosphorylation of RNA 5'-hydroxyl ...

Effective inhibition of human immunodeficiency virus 1 replication by engineered RNase P ribozyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Using an in vitro selection procedure, we have previously isolated RNase P ribozyme variants that efficiently cleave an mRNA sequence in vitro. In this study, a variant was used to target the HIV RNA sequence in the tat region.

A cell-based ribozyme reporter system employing a chromosomally-integrated 5′ exonuclease gene
BMC Molecular and Cell Biology, 2021 Background Bioinformatic genome surveys indicate that self-cleaving ribonucleic acids (ribozymes) appear to be widespread among all domains of life, although the functions of only a small number have been validated by biochemical methods.

Dynamic signal processing by ribozyme-mediated RNA circuits to control gene expression [PDF]
, 2014 Organisms have different circuitries that allow converting signal molecule levels to changes in gene expression. An important challenge in synthetic biology involves the de novo design of RNA modules enabling dynamic signal processing in live cells. This
