A hammerhead ribozyme selects mechanically stable conformations for catalysis against viral RNA

Abstract Ribozymes, widely found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, target nucleic acids and can be engineered as biotechnical tools or for gene regulation or immune therapy. Among them, hammerhead is the smallest and best characterized ribozyme. However, the structure and biochemical data of ribozymes...
