title: A glimpse of the catalytic core of a group II intron.
abstract: A paper in a recent issue of Science describes the first high-resolution structure of part of the catalytic core of a group II intron that will allow more detailed comparisons between the excision of introns by self-splicing group II introns and by nuclear pre-mRNA introns.
