Crystal structure of an RNA-cleaving DNAzyme
RNA-cleaving DNA enzymes are catalytic DNA that can cleave RNA in a sequence-specific manner. Here, the authors report three crystal structures of the 8–17 DNAzyme that include the pre-catalytic state of the RNA cleavage reaction, providing insight into the catalytic mechanism and may guide the rati...
