| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel method for constructing an artificial enzyme by modification of the peptide subunit of ribonucleopeptide (RNP) with a catalytic group was investigated. We have developed a method to construct highly selective receptors for small molecules by using the RNP scaffold. The peptide subunit of RNP can be further functionalized with retaining the original molecular recognition of RNP receptor, for example, modification of the peptide with a fluorophore converts an RNP receptor to a fluorescent RNP sensor. In this study, an RNP library for the screening of catalytic activity was constructed by using an ATP-binding RNA library and a library of peptides modified at the N-terminal with a catalytic group through various kinds of peptide linkers. Screening of the RNP library for a hydrolytic activity afforded RNPs with enhanced activity.
