Functional RNAs that contribute to higher genetic complexity and expanded functional space are of great importance for scenarios of early life, i.e. in the RNA world. The lecture will introduce ribozyme variants that perform RNA processing reactions in different scenarios, including RNA recombination, regular and back-splicing. Recent studies on the activity of encapsulated ribozymes clearly show that encapsulation in vesicles supports intermolecular association and structure formation and thus overall activity of catalytic RNAs compared to their activity in free solution. This confirms the importance of compartmentalization for further evolution of functionality.
Sabine Müller holds the Chair of Biochemistry/Bioorganic Chemistry at the University Greifswald. After her academic graduation from Humboldt University Berlin, she worked for 18 months as a postdoc at the MRC in Cambridge, UK, and then took up a group leader position again at Humboldt University. After her habilitation in 2003, she moved to the Ruhr University Bochum, where she held a professorship in bioorganic chemistry, before accepting her current appointment at the University of Greifswald in 2006. Sabine Müller‘s research focuses on the chemistry and biochemistry of nucleic acids.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
