Fig. 11.8 Two-dimensional representation of A hammerhead and B hairpinribozyme-mRNA substrate complexes. Naturally-occurring catalytic RNA ~40-50 nucleotides long. Introduced by transfection of ds DNA version on a vector.The mRNA substrates and ribozymes are shown in red and blue, respectively.Abbreviations: Y, a pyrimidine nucleotide (C or U); R, a purine nucleotide (A orG); H, any nucleotide except G; B, any nucleotide except A; V, any nucleotideexcept U; N and N’, any complementary nucleotides. An arrow indicates thepoint of mRNA cleavage.AB

Thomas Cech and Sidney Altman shared the 1989Nobel Prize in chemistry for discovering the catalyticproperties of RNA
