At that time, everyone thought of proteins as the only kind of enzymes and ribozymes had not yet been found. |
They placed the DNA copy between two ribozymes, RNA molecules that have enzymatic function and can cleave RNA sequence at specific locations. |
Gene therapy is also making use of catalytic RNA through the construction of ribozymes. |
The vesicles were immobilized on supported bilayers and single-molecule analysis was performed for DNA molecules and hairpin ribozymes. |
We therefore encapsulated hairpin ribozymes inside 200-nm vesicles to test for surface effects. |
But to do their work, ribozymes need to first get into the cells, and for that they need help. |
