Divalent metal ions, nucleobases, ribosyl hydroxyl groups, and even functional groups on metabolic cofactors all contribute in the various strategies employed by RNA enzymes. This catalytic breadth raises intriguing evolutionary questions about how RNA lost its biological role in some cases, but not in others, and what catalytic roles RNA might still be playing in biology.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:aoyelere@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Adegboyega Oyelere\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-4047).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Scott Strobel, Yale University\n\nThree views of RNA catalysis:  Ribozymes, Ribosomes and Riboswitches","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Scott Strobel, Yale University"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2010-01-19 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:48:32","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-02-17T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-02-17T16:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-02-17T16:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-02-17 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-02-17 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-02-17 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.chem.yale.edu\/faculty\/strobel.html","title":"Prof. Scott Strobel, Yale University"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"8310","name":"geochemistry"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
