Which of the following statement is TRUE about Ribozyme?

A
Pepitdyl transferase activity
B
Cut DNA at specific site
C
Paicipate in DNA synthesis
D
GTPase
High-Yield Explanation
Ribozymes are RNA molecules with catalytic activity. These generally involve trans esterification reactions, and most are concerned with RNA metabolism (splicing and endoribonuclease). Recently, a rRNA component has been implicated in hydrolyzing an aminoacyl ester and thus to play a central role in peptide bond function (peptidyl transferases.) Ref: Weil P. (2011). Chapter 36.
