Applications of Aminoacylation Ribozymes That Recognize the 3'-end of tRNA
In this thesis, applications of aminoacylation ribozymes named flexizymes are described. Flexizymes have the following unique characteristics: (i) substrate RNA is recognized by two consecutive base pairs between the 3''-end of substrate RNA and the 3''-end of the flexizyme; (ii) these base pairs can be substituted with other base pairs; and (iii) various activated amino acids can be used as subst...
