Molecular Basis of RNA Catalysis

Abstract

This project involves kinetic studies of RNA splicing reactions catalyzed by the intervening sequence from the precursor rRNA of Tetrahymena thermophila. The ultimate goal is identification and understanding of each step in the mechanism for splicing. Special attention is being focused on the role of Magnesium (2+). Keywords: Protozoa, Molecular biology, Labeled Substances, Titration, Transitions.
