A structural analysis of in vitro catalytic activities of hammerhead ribozymes

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2007
Background Ribozymes are small catalytic RNAs that possess the dual functions of sequence-specific RNA recognition and site-specific cleavage. Trans-cleaving ribozymes can inhibit translation of genes at the messenger RNA (mRNA) level in both eukaryotic ...

Development of Enhanced Separation Techniques for Oligonucleotides Utilizing Mixed‐Mode Chromatography and 2D‐LC/UV/MS Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 48, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Oligonucleotides are traditionally analyzed using ion‐pair reversed‐phase liquid chromatography. In this project, we explored an alternative approach utilizing a reversed phase‐weak anion exchange mixed‐mode column, which combines separation based on both charge and hydrophobicity.

Short-term sequence evolution and vertical inheritance of the Naegleria twin-ribozyme group I intron

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background Ribosomal DNA of several species of the free-living Naegleria amoeba harbors an optional group I intron within the nuclear small subunit ribosomal RNA gene.

Q‐score as a reliability measure for protein, nucleic acid and small‐molecule atomic coordinate models derived from 3DEM maps

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 410-422, August 2025.
Q‐scores are calculated for atomic models derived from 3D electron microscopy maps, measure how well the model fits the map and reflect the quality of the map itself. Here, we develop a statistical model for Q‐scores applied to many maps and models in the EMDB and PDB, respectively, and show how it can be used to assess the reliability of entire models

Learning from ribozymes [PDF]

open access: yesRNA, 2015
I had arranged to meet Tom Cech after the Pfizer Lecture he was giving at Harvard. This was 1986, RNA catalysis was pretty new, and I was a graduate student nearby at Brandeis interested in discussing with Tom the possibility of joining his group for a postdoc. His lecture was masterful—the audience in rapt attention. We all knew, and were taught, that

Probing complex RNA structures by mechanical force

open access: yes, 2003
RNA secondary structures of increasing complexity are probed combining single molecule stretching experiments and stochastic unfolding/refolding simulations. We find that force-induced unfolding pathways cannot usually be interpretated by solely invoking

Identification of selective hepatitis delta virus ribozyme inhibitors by high-throughput screening of small molecule libraries

open access: yesJHEP Reports, 2023
Background & Aims: Chronic hepatitis delta is the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis and is associated with faster progression towards cirrhosis, liver decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Metal-ion binding and metal-ion induced folding of the adenine-sensing riboswitch aptamer domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Divalent cations are important in the folding and stabilization of complex RNA structures. The adenine-sensing riboswitch controls the expression of mRNAs for proteins involved in purine metabolism by directly sensing intracellular adenine levels ...

A Cross-chiral RNA Polymerase Ribozyme

open access: yesNature, 2014
Thirty years ago it was shown that the non-enzymatic, template-directed polymerization of activated mononucleotides proceeds readily in a homochiral system, but is severely inhibited by the presence of the opposing enantiomer. This finding poses a severe

Ribozymes, genomics and therapeutics

open access: yesChemistry & Biology, 1999
Genome-sequencing projects are proceeding at a rapid pace and determining the function of open reading frames is the next great challenge. Ribozymes with site-specific cleaving activity could aid greatly in this process. High-throughput screening methods to identify optimal target sites for ribozyme cleavage will provide tools for functional genomics ...
