ri·bo·zyme (r

-z

)

A strand of RNA that attaches to specific sites on other RNA strands and lyses the strands.

ribozyme

enzyme whose catalytic function is carried out by an RNA subunit; of the four known classes, three carry out self processing reactions while the fourth, ribonuclease P (RNase P), is a true catalyst; discovered in the context of RNA splicing.
