IN VITRO AND IN VIVO CHARACTERIZATION OF A TRANS EXCISION-SPLICING RIBOZYME

Group I introns are catalytic RNAs with the ability to splice out of RNA transcripts, often without the aid of proteins. These self-splicing introns have been reengineered to create ribozymes with the ability to catalyze reactions. One such ribozyme, derived from a Pneumocystis carinii group I intro...
