    Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the
    three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or "ribozyme," that carries
    out a fundamental reaction required to make new RNA molecules. Their results
    provide insight into what may have been the first self-replicating molecule
    to arise billions of years ago on the evolutionary path toward the emergence
    of life.
