The structural basis of RNA-catalyzed RNA polymerization

Early life presumably required polymerase ribozymes capable of replicating RNA. Known polymerase ribozymes best approximating such replicases use as their catalytic engine an RNA-ligase ribozyme originally selected from random RNA sequences. Here, we report 3.15 Å crystal structures of this ligase t...
