Targeting the conserved active site of splicing machines with specific and selective small molecule modulators

Abstract The self-splicing group II introns are bacterial and organellar ancestors of the nuclear spliceosome and retro-transposable elements of pharmacological and biotechnological importance. Integrating enzymatic, crystallographic, and simulation studies, we demonstrate how these introns recogniz...
