The Role of an Active Site Mg(2+) in HDV Ribozyme Self-Cleavage: Insights from QM/MM Calculations

The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme is a catalytic RNA motif embedded in the human pathogenic HDV RNA. It catalyzes self-cleavage of its sugar-phosphate backbone with direct participation of the active site cytosine C75. Biochemical and structural data support a general acid role of C75. Here,...
