摘要
RNA catalysts: In vitro selection from a random library of RNA sequences gave RNA urea synthases able to utilize tripeptides as substrates (see scheme; HNE, human neutrophile elastase). The tripeptide substrates were mechanism-based protease suicide substrates. Stereoselection of serine protease tripeptide phosphonate inhibitors was achieved by RNA catalysis. The RNA urea synthases showed a high degree of diastereoselectivity for the most potent protease suicide inhibitor.
