Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the double-stranded structure formed during the replication of ribozyme is capable of catalysis.

Introduction:

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is an intermediate molecule between the genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and the functional protein molecules. There are various types of RNA molecules present in the cell, namely, mRNA (messenger RNA), tRNA (transfer RNA), siRNA (small interfering RNA), and ribozymes.
