Joining amino acids and nucleotides : A deoxyribozyme catalyzes the nucleophilic attack of a tyrosine (Tyr) side chain on a 5′‐triphosphate RNA, efficiently forming a Tyr–RNA nucleopeptide linkage (see picture). Thus, the scope of known DNA catalysis is further expanded beyond reactions of oligonucleotide functional groups.
