Structure, dynamics, and mechanism of the lead-dependent ribozyme

Leadzyme is a small catalytic RNA that was identified by in vitro selection for Pb2+-dependent cleavage from a tRNA library. Leadzyme employs a unique two-step Pb2+-specific mechanism to cleave within its active site. NMR and crystal structures of the active site revealed different folding patterns,...
