The <scene name='82/824632/Twister_ribozyme/4'>twister ribozyme</scene> is a catalytic RNA that is capable of self cleaving. There are two groups that ribozymes may fall into based on function: splicing ribozymes and cleaving ribozymes; the latter may be further broken down into trans-cleaving nucleases and small self-cleaving ribozymes or nucleolytic ribozymes. Twister ribozyme is a member of the nucleolytic ribozymes along with 8 other classes which include hairpin, hammerhead, hatchet, hepatitis delta virus (HDV), glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, neurospora, pistol, and twister sister.

The structure of twister ribozyme has a highly conserved secondary structure that includes a double pseudo knot with a core comprising of a stem loop interrupted by two internal loops.<ref name="article"/> The cleavage site for the ribozyme is located within loop 1 and the <scene name='82/824632/Twister_ribozyme_active_site/3'>active site</scene> can be found at the center of the molecule.<ref name="article"/> Active site formation of all nucleolytic ribozymes occurs through the interactions of secondary and tertiary structures. The double pseudo knot structure is formed by two long range tertiary interactions which are necessary for its catalytic function. The structure contains four magnesium ions within the ribozyme fold; two have shells of water molecules and the other two have phosphate non-bridging oxygen atoms.<ref name="article"/>

This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.

This Sandbox is Reserved from September 14, 2021, through May 31, 2022, for use in the class Introduction to Biochemistry taught by User:John Means at the University of Rio Grande, Rio Grande, OH, USA. This reservation includes 5 reserved sandboxes (Sandbox Reserved 1590 through Sandbox Reserved 1594).
To get started:
  • Click the edit this page tab at the top. Save the page after each step, then edit it again.
  • Click the 3D button (when editing, above the wikitext box) to insert Jmol.
  • show the Scene authoring tools, create a molecular scene, and save it. Copy the green link into the page.
  • Add a description of your scene. Use the buttons above the wikitext box for bold, italics, links, headlines, etc.

More help: Help:Editing. For an example of a student Proteopedia page, please see Photosystem II, Tetanospasmin, or Guanine riboswitch.
