Guanine actif aptazyme

An aptazyme is an aptamer-ribozyme combination with intrinsic RNA cleavage activity. This aptazyme is specific for the guanine or guanosine ligand. It is composed of 3 different parts: a ribozyme module, a communication module, and an aptamer module. This aptazyme is an ON-switches type of aptazyme. Its catalytic activity (self-cleavage) requires the presence of ligand.
