Single Mutation in Hammerhead Ribozyme Favors Cleavage Activity with Manganese over Magnesium

Hammerhead ribozymes are one of the most studied classes of ribozymes so far, from both the structural and biochemical point of views. The activity of most hammerhead ribozymes is cation-dependent. Mg<sup>2+</sup> is one of the most abundant divalent cations in the cell and therefore pla...
