TL;DR: A systematic study of selectively modified, 36-mer hammerhead ribozymes has resulted in the identification of a generic, catalytically active and nuclease stable ribozyme motif containing 5 ribose residues, 29-30 2-O-Me nucleotides, 1-2 other 2′-modified nucleotide at positions U4 and U7, and a 3′-3′-linked nucleotide “cap.”
