"The structure illustrates unambiguously how functional groups of the RNA
mediate acid-base chemical catalysis, permitting us to suggest that
acid-base chemistry is so fundamental to enzyme catalysis that it predates
the origin of protein enzymes," Scott said.
Acid-base chemistry huh? Who would have ever thought? ;-)
