The hammerhead ribozyme is a small RNA motif consisting of three helices that intersect at a conserved core. When correctly folded, the hammerhead ribozyme stimulates nearly complete cleavage of the phosphodiester chain at a defined internal site to give 2′,3′-cyclic and 5′-hydroxy termini. The cleavage rate is approx.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1992
RNA enzymes or ribozymes are receiving considerable attention for their potential use as highly specific inhibitors of gene expression. From the basic science perspective, the mechanisms by which ribozymes catalyze site-specific cleavage (and in some cases ligation) reactions provide exciting and active areas of scientific investigation.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 1997
The ability to alter genes in order to regulate their expression has become an undeniable reality. This can be performed in vitro and in cells, and the possibility of treating diseases and even preventing them now exists through such gene manipulation.

Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 1998
The selective inactivation of genes, in a tissue-specific or temporally controlled manner, is now an important requirement for the analysis of nervous system development and function. Hammerhead ribozymes--catalytic RNA enzymes that specifically bind to and then cleave target RNAs--may provide a way to meet this requirement, particularly for organisms ...

In this review I will outline several chemogenetic approaches used to determine the chemical basis of large ribozyme function and structure. The term chemogenetics was first used to describe site-specific functional group modification experiments in the analysis of DNA-protein interactions.

Ribozymes are structured RNA molecules that act as catalysts in different biological reactions. From simple genome cleaving activities in satellite RNAs to more complex functions in cellular protein synthesis and gene regulation, ribozymes play important roles in all forms of life.

The self-cleaving RNA sequences, or ribozymes, in the genomic and antigenomic strands of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA fold into structures that are similar to each other but distinct from those of small ribozymes associated with the RNA replicons that infect plants.

Science, 1999
Ribozymes are RNA molecules that behave like enzymes, cleaving other RNA transcripts into pieces. They have potential therapeutic value because they can be designed to chew up viral RNAs or to repair damaged mRNA transcripts. However, getting the ribozyme to the correct part of the cell where the target RNA resides is a challenge.

AbstractThe hairpin ribozyme is a naturally occurring RNA that catalyzes sequence‐specific cleavage and ligation of RNA. It has been the subject of extensive biochemical and structural studies, perhaps the most detailed for any catalytic RNA to date. Comparison of the structures of its constituent domains free and fully assembled demonstrates that the ...

Practical Ribozymes: Making ribozymes work in cells
Current Biology, 1994Ways are being found to increase the efficacy of ribozymes in cells, offering hope that they may soon begin to fulfill their promise as new reagents for inactivating specific RNAs in cells.
