ABSTRACT:
Compounds having highly specific endoribonuclease activity are described. The compounds of this invention, also known as ribozymes, comprise ribonucleotides having two hybridizing regions with predetermined sequences capable of hybridizing with a target RNA, a region of defined sequence and a base paired stem region.
