We therefore encapsulated hairpin ribozymes inside 200-nm vesicles to test for surface effects. |
Each of these ribozymes and a corresponding non-catalytic control ribozyme was cloned into the shuttle vector, pPCR-Script. |
Gene therapy is also making use of catalytic RNA through the construction of ribozymes. |
But to do their work, ribozymes need to first get into the cells, and for that they need help. |
The vesicles were immobilized on supported bilayers and single-molecule analysis was performed for DNA molecules and hairpin ribozymes. |
This view has been strengthened by the discovery that some forms of RNA, called ribozymes, can act like non-protein enzymes to catalyze biological reactions. |
