Evolution of DNA and RNA as catalysts for chemical reactions

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

In vitro selection from combinatorial nucleic acid libraries has provided new RNA and DNA molecules that have catalytic properties. Catalyzed reactions now go far beyond self-modifying reactions of nucleic acid molecules. The future application of in vitro selected RNA and DNA catalysts in bioorganic synthesis appears promising.
