Engineering a selective small-molecule substrate binding site into a deoxyribozyme

A small goal: An RNA ligase deoxyribozyme is engineered to accept a small-molecule NTP substrate in a multiple-turnover fashion. Selective binding is enforced by hydrogen bonding, and structural preorganization within the NTP itself is important for its efficient utilization as a substrate. This study points the way toward a broader use of small-molecule substrates with nucleic acid enzymes. (Figure Presented)
