Crystals of a hammerhead ribozyme.
Hammerhead ribozyme-inhibitor complexes consisting of an RNA "enzyme" strand and a DNA "inhibitor" strand have been crystallized in four different crystal forms. The crystal form that is most attractive for structure determination diffracts to approximately 3.2 A resolution; it is trigonal, space group P3(1)21 or enantiomorph, a = 92.5 A, c = 185.0 A.
