[[Ribozyme]] (RZ) is an RNA molecule which catalyzes a chemical reaction. The '''Glucosamine-6-phosphate activated RZ''' (glmS RZ) is a RZ and a riboswitch which regulates genes in response to metabolites. '''Leadzyme''' is a small, artificially-made RZ which can cleave RNA in the presence of lead.  For more details on leadzyme see [[Student Projects for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2012-10]]. '''Hairpin RZ''' and '''hammerhead RZ''' are named based on their shape. The '''group I intron''' catalyzes its own selfish splicing.
