Ribozyme (RZ) is an RNA molecule which catalyzes a chemical reaction.

• 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.
  
• Group I intron catalyzes its own selfish splicing.
