Investigation of metal binding sites in the hammerhead ribozyme by paramagnetic resonance techniques /

The hammerhead ribozyme, small, well-characterized RNA molecule, undergoes a phosphodiester bond self-cleavage reaction in the presence of divalent metal ions. Information about the structural roles of the divalent metals can provide an understanding of how they support activity in the ribozyme. Mn²...
