1. Group I Introns and Homing Endonucleases in T-even-like Bacteriophages
Abstract : Homing endonucleases are rare-cutting enzymes that cleave DNA at a site near their own location, preferentially in alleles lacking the homing endonuclease gene (HEG). By cleaving HEG-less alleles the homing endonuclease can mediate the transfer of its own gene to the cleaved site via a process called homing, involving double strand break repair. READ MORE

3. Structure and function studies on nrdB group I intron from bacteriophage T4
Abstract : The nrdB gene of bacteriophage T4 contains a group I intron which is autocatalytic in water solutions containing salts. The group I intron self-splicing reaction consists of two consecutive transesterfication steps. The first step is the attack of an external guanosine on phosphor at the 5'-splice site. READ MORE

4. Mechanism Studies of Catalytic RNA, and RNA and DNA Model Compounds
Abstract : This thesis describes mechanism studies of transesterifications of phosphate esters. The aim of the studies concerns two fields. First, the catalytic mechanism that group I introns use in self-splicing. The focus was on metal ion coordinating groups at the catalytic site. READ MORE
