Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals Incorporated
Download detailed PDF Members: Ribozyme Pharmaceuticals was founded to develop commercial products and services based upon the significant potential of "ribozymes," a discovery of Professor Thomas R. Cech for which he shared a Nobel Prize. Ribozymes, a form of ribonucleic acid ("RNA"), can selectively inhibit the protein production and genetic function associated with a specific messenger RNA ("mRNA") molecule by binding with the particular mRNA and cutting it apart. Ribozymes treat humandisease in two primary ways. First, ribozymes can be designed to inhibit abnormal gene function that causes a disease or is essential to the growth or spread of the disease. Second, ribozymes can be designed to target viruses and other infectious agents causing disease in humans. Ribozymes also are useful in identifying the function of specific genes (validating targets) and in diagnosing disease. Ribozymes can also be designed to treat animal diseases and alter traits of plants.
