95 results about "Ribozyme" patented technology

Ribozymes (ribonucleic acid enzymes) are RNA molecules that are capable of catalyzing specific biochemical reactions, similar to the action of protein enzymes. The 1982 discovery of ribozymes demonstrated that RNA can be both genetic material (like DNA) and a biological catalyst (like protein enzymes), and contributed to the RNA world hypothesis, which suggests that RNA may have been important in the evolution of prebiotic self-replicating systems. The most common activities of natural or in vitro-evolved ribozymes are the cleavage or ligation of RNA and DNA and peptide bond formation. Within the ribosome, ribozymes function as part of the large subunit ribosomal RNA to link amino acids during protein synthesis. They also participate in a variety of RNA processing reactions, including RNA splicing, viral replication, and transfer RNA biosynthesis. Examples of ribozymes include the hammerhead ribozyme, the VS ribozyme, Leadzyme and the hairpin ribozyme.

Ribozyme for labeling biotin on target RNA and screening method and application thereof

The invention relates to ribozyme for labeling biotin on target RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) as well as a screening method and application thereof. The RNA labeling technology is one of core tools for modern molecular biology research and clinical diagnosis. A specific marker is covalently linked to a target RNA molecule, so that accurate tracking, efficient detection and functional analysis of RNA can be realized. A biotin-streptavidin system becomes one of the technical routes which are most widely applied due to extremely high affinity and signal amplification capability of the biotin-streptavidin system. At present, common biotin-labeled RNA technical methods mainly comprise a chemical solid-phase synthesis method, an enzymatic method and a chemical labeling method. However, the methods have the limitations of poor site specificity, low efficiency, complex manipulation and the like in the use process. The engineering ribozyme for catalyzing RNA biotinylation is obtained by taking 12: 0 biotin coenzyme A as a biotin donor through an in-vitro screening technology. The ribozyme provided by the invention can efficiently and specifically carry out biotin labeling on target RNA, the reaction process is simple, and the labeling activity is up to 90% or above.
