catalytic rna meaning
[Medicine]
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.
