Numerous RNA molecules with new catalytic properties have been isolated from synthetic combinatorial libraries. A broad range of chemical reactions is catalysed, and nucleic acids can accelerate bond formation between small organic substrates. This review focuses on carbon-carbon bond formation accelerated by in vitro selected ribozymes. Mechanistic investigations and structure-function relationships are discussed.
