Abstract
Our view on RNA has changed radically over the last decade. In addition to its function as carrier of genetic information, RNA was shown to have several catalytic properties, culminating recently in the stunning fact that probably 23S ribosomal RNA alone participates in peptide bond formation (Noller et al. 1992).
