The discovery of catalytic RNA, also called ribozyme, has been of great importance to both research and industry. An important catalyst: In addition to cutting and rejoining RNA, catalytic RNA probably plays a major role in many biological processes. Life processes often require intimate cooperation between proteins and RNA. In the future researchers will probably…
