Question 12 Regarding Ribozymes, all statements are true except: ARibozyme is a catalyst that cleaves its substrate (RNA) at a specific site and then releases it, and itself being consumed in the reaction. BThe substrate specificity of a ribozyme is determined by nucleotide base pairing between complementary sequences contained within the enzyme and the RNA substrate that it cleaves. CCatalytic RNAs are known as ribozymes. DRecombinant ribozymes are being considered as possible therapeutic agents for diseases such as muscular dystrophy, Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's. ← PreviousNext →
