Chapter 28, Problem 3A
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The discovery of ribozymes which supported the RNA-first hypothesis.
Introduction:
A ribozyme can be defined as a ribonucleic acid molecule. A ribosome is capable of catalyzing the biochemical reactions. The discovery of the ribozymes supported the RNA world hypothesis. It states that the earlier life forms might have relied only on RNA for the purpose of storing genetic information and catalyzing
