Real-Time Detection of a Self-Replicating RNA Enzyme

A system was developed to detect the self-replication of an RNA enzyme in real time. The enzyme is an RNA ligase that undergoes exponential amplification at a constant temperature and can be made to operate in a ligand-dependent manner. The real-time system is based on a fluorimetric readout that di...
