A cornerstone of molecular evolution leading to the emergence of life on our planet is associated with appearance of the first catalytic RNA molecules. A question remains regarding the nature of the simplest catalytic centers that could mediate the chemistry needed for RNA-catalysis. In the current paper we provide a new example supporting our previously suggested model proposing that transiently formed open loop geometries could serve as temporary ...
