Abstract
Catalytic RNAs with peroxidase activity were obtained by the in vitro selection of RNA aptamer-binding hemin. One of the RNA aptamers selected showed binding affinity to hemin with a dissociation constant of 0.8muM and exhibited high peroxidase activity by forming a complex with hemin. The catalytic efficiency of the RNA-hemin complex was 10-fold higher than that of hemin alone.Entities:
