Investigators studying the origin of life have produced ribozymes in the laboratory that are capable of catalyzing their own synthesis from activated monomers under very specific conditions, such as an RNA polymerase ribozyme.
Forskere inden for studiet af livets oprindelse har produceret ribozymer i laboratoriet, der er i stand til at katalysere deres egen syntese under særlige betingelser, så som et RNA-polymerase-ribosym.
