Investigation of metal binding properties in the hammerhead ribozyme and tetraloop hairpins by various spectroscopic techniques /

The hammerhead ribozyme is a well-characterized RNA molecule capable of catalyzing a site-specific phosphodiester bond cleavage reaction in the presence of divalent cations. The metal-RNA interactions that promote this activity are not well understood. Metal-RNA interactions are investigated in thi...
