1995 RNA Lecture 3

"How to Accelerate a Reaction 100,000,000,000 Times Using Only RNA" by Thomas R. Cech, Ph.D. RNA and protein are built from different chemical units and assembled in distinct ways. Thus, the ability of RNA to exhibit catalytic activity rivaling that of traditional protein enzymes was unexpected. Studies of RNA catalytic centers have revealed much about their structure and mode of action.
