Descriptor ARN catalítico
Entry term(s) ribozima
ribozimas
Scope note: ARN con actividad catalítica. La secuencia catalítica de ARN se pliega formando una superficie compleja que puede funcionar como una enzima en las reacciones con si mismo y con otras moléculas. Puede funcionar incluso en ausencia de proteina. Existen numerosos ejemplos de especies de ARN que actuan sobre el ARN catalítico, aunque el alcance de esta clase de enzima no se limita a un tipo particular de sustrato.

Scope note: RNA that has catalytic activity. The catalytic RNA sequence folds to form a complex surface that can function as an enzyme in reactions with itself and other molecules. It may function even in the absence of protein. There are numerous examples of RNA species that are acted upon by catalytic RNA, however the scope of this enzyme class is not limited to a particular type of substrate.
