Nonprotein Biocatalysts: Catalytic Nucleic Acids

Description
Ribozymes, a class of ribonucleic acids, also function as biological catalysts.

The production of tRNA from pre-tRNA is catalyzed by an RNA–protein complex called ribonuclease P.

The RNA portion of ribonuclease P can by itself catalyze the hydrolysis of the specific phosphodiester bond indicated by the red wedge.
