title: [Nucleozymes and minizymes].
abstract: The data on the replacement of ribonucleotides within ribozymes with deoxyribonucleotides are reviewed. Resulting chimeric ribozymes ("nucleozymes") are many times more stable than their precursors. Synthesis of minimized ribozymes or minimized nucleozymes ("minizymes") are discussed.
