Spliceosome structure and function.

TL;DR: The extensive interplay of RNA and proteins in aligning the pre-mRNA's reactive groups, and the presence of both RNA and protein at the core of the splicing machinery, suggest that the spliceosome is an RNP enzyme, but elucidation of the precise nature of its active site awaits the generation of a high-resolution structure of its RNP core.
