Thus, an mRNA that contains a riboswitch is directly involved in regulating its own activity, in response to the concentrations of its target molecule.) Sloan-Kettering Institute, Research Programs: Structural Biology, web site, Aug. 19, 2010 (Riboswitches and ribozymes: Metabolite-sensing mRNAs, or riboswitches, specifically interact with small ligands and direct expression of the genes involved in their metabolism.) |
