Mechanisms of covalent self-assembly of the Azoarcus ribozyme from four fragment oligonucleotides

RNA oligomers of length 40–60 nt can self-assemble into covalent versions of the Azoarcus group I intron ribozyme. This process requires a series of recombination reactions in which the internal guide sequence of a nascent catalytic complex makes specific interactions with a complement triplet, CAU,...
