| - | + | Leadzyme is a relatively small catalytic RNA. In the presence of Pb^2+, it catalyzes the cleavage of the C6-C7 phosphodiester bond <ref>PMID:9813122</ref> . This is accomplished via nucleophilic attack <ref>PMID:9813122</ref> . The resulting in a 2', 3'-cyclic phosphate and a 5'-hydroxyl terminus <ref>PMID:9813122</ref> . The first reaction, increases the Pb^2+ cleavage by 1100-fold rate <ref>PMID:9813122</ref> . The resulting products then trigger a second reaction, in which the product opens to a 3' mono-phosphate group <ref>PMID:9813122</ref> . | |
