New strategy for the synthesis of chemically modified RNA constructs exemplified by hairpin and hammerhead ribozymes.

The CuAAC reaction (click chemistry) has been used in conjunction with solid-phase synthesis to produce catalytically active hairpin ribozymes around 100 nucleotides in length. Cross-strand ligation through neighboring nucleobases was successful in covalently linking presynthesized RNA strands with...
