Life on Minerals: Binding Behaviors of Oligonucleotides on Zirconium Silicate and Its Inhibitory Activity for the Self-Cleavage of Hammerhead Ribozyme

The role of minerals in the chemical evolution of RNA molecules is an important issue when considering the early stage of the Hadean Earth. In particular, the interaction between functional ribozymes and ancient minerals under simulated primitive conditions is a recent research focus. We are current...
