Group I aptazymes as genetic regulatory switches
Background Allosteric ribozymes (aptazymes) that have extraordinary activation parameters have been generated in vitro by design and selection. For example, hammerhead and ligase ribozymes that are activated by small organic effectors and protein ...

Artificial and Natural Genetic Information Processing [PDF]
Conventional methods of genetic engineering and more recent genome editing techniques focus on identifying genetic target sequences for manipulation.

The modular structural domains of multidomain RNA enzymes can often be dissected into separate domain RNAs and their noncovalent assembly can often reconstitute active enzymes.

Selfishness versus functional cooperation in a stochastic protocell model [PDF]
How to design an "evolvable" artificial system capable to increase in complexity? Although Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection obviously offers a firm foundation, little hope of success seems to be expected from the explanatory adequacy of ...

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.

Ribozimi su katalitičke molekule koje moraju biti savijene u visoko uređene tercijarne strukture, kao što to proteini rade da bi obavljali svoje funkcije. Glavni cilj je dovesti nukleofil i izrezujući fosfat u blizinu i aktivirati ih.

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

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

An in vivo selection method to optimize trans-splicing ribozymes.
Group I intron ribozymes can repair mutated mRNAs by replacing the 3'-terminal portion of the mRNA with their own 3'-exon. This trans-splicing reaction has the potential to treat genetic disorders and to selectively kill cancer cells or virus-infected ...
