DNAzyme description

 Reaction  Reacting groups  Substrates Product  Metal ion Linkage  Seq description
RNA cleavage Group 1 - 2'-OH of rA

Group 2 - vicinal phosphate

X: Fluorescein (F)- and a DABCYL (Q)-modified deoxyribothymidine.
S: cleavage in cis
specific cleavage at desired position TcdC‐24 protein
RNA phosphodiester N 40
 Catalytic region of the DNAzyme

Notes
The DNAzyme catalyzes the cleavage ligation solely in the presence of crude extracellular mixture (CEM) of Clostridium difficile. The tcdC-24 protein seems to be responsible for the DNAzyme's activation. It is a flourogenic probe for the detection of this bacterium.
