Biochemical prevention and treatment of viral infections – A new paradigm in medicine for infectious diseases [PDF]
, 2004 For two centuries, vaccination has been the dominating approach to develop prophylaxis against viral infections through immunological prevention. However, vaccines are not always possible to make, are ineffective for many viral infections, and also carry

Ribozyme activity modulates the physical properties of RNA–peptide coacervates
eLife, 2023 Condensed coacervate phases are now understood to be important features of modern cell biology, as well as valuable protocellular models in origin-of-life studies and synthetic biology.

Functional identification of catalytic metal ion binding sites within RNA. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2005 The viability of living systems depends inextricably on enzymes that catalyze phosphoryl transfer reactions. For many enzymes in this class, including several ribozymes, divalent metal ions serve as obligate cofactors.

The structure of a nucleolytic ribozyme that employs a catalytic metal ion
Nature Chemical Biology, 2017 The TS ribozyme (originally called twister-sister) is a nucleolytic catalytic RNA. We present a crystal structure of the ribozyme in a pre-reactive conformation. Two co-axial helical stacks are organized by a three-way junction and two tertiary contacts.

Horizontal transfer between loose compartments stabilizes replication of fragmented ribozymes
, 2019 The emergence of replicases that can replicate themselves is a central issue in the origin of life. Recent experiments suggest that such replicases can be realized if an RNA polymerase ribozyme is divided into fragments short enough to be replicable by ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We introduce a nucleic acid nanoparticle (NANP) platform designed to be rrecognized by the human innate immune system in a regulated manner. By changing chemical composition while maintaining constant architectural parameters, we identify key determinants of immunorecognition enabling the rational design of NANPs with tunable immune activation profiles

Molecular Anatomy of the Class I Ligase Ribozyme for Elucidation of the Activity-Generating Unit
Biology, 2023 The class I ligase ribozyme consists of 121 nucleotides and shows a high catalytic rate comparable to that found in natural proteinaceous polymerases. In this study, we aimed to identify the smaller active unit of the class I ligase ribozyme comprising ...

In vitro Evolution and Engineering for Improved Ribozyme Polymerase Production [PDF]
, 2011 According to the "RNA World Hypothesis" the first self replicating molecule formed from the prebiotic chemicals is the ribozyme. A model compartmentalized self replicating system for ribozyme polymerases is designed and used to improve activity,
