Sequential discovery of three different catalytic metal ion-ligand interactions in the transition state of the Tetrahymena group I ribozyme reaction. (A) MA coordinates the 3’ oxygen of the leaving group. (B) MB coordinates the 3’-OH of the guanosine nucleophile. (C) MC coordinates the 2’-OH of the guanosine nucleophile.
