Micura Structural basis for Diels-Alder ribozyme-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation Nat Struct Mol Biol 12 2005 218 224 The catalytic site architecture reveals that catalysis is achieved by a combination of proximity, complementarity, and electronic effects. Striking structural parallels are observed with the active site of a catalytic antibody evolved for a similar reaction and involving anthracene as the diene. This suggests that common structural principles and catalytic mechanisms are at work in macromolecule-mediated catalysis of Diels-Alder reactions.

Silverman Directing the outcome of deoxyribozyme selections to favor native 3′-5′ RNA ligation Biochemistry 44 2005 3017 3023 The substrates used in these selections were related either to the natural sequences of spliceosome substrates or to group II introns. Even an already evolved population of DNAzymes, estimated to contain less than 1% sequences catalyzing 3′-5′ linkages, gave, after only four additional selection cycles, 23 out of 24 isolated clones with the desired 3′- 5′ ligase activity.
