achel Green's work delves into the molecular mechanisms of RNA catalysis. She has already made contributions to the problem of understanding how RNA functions as a catalyst. This problem is meaningful in biology, as it seems likely that early in the evolution of life on this planet, RNA functioned not only as the repository of genetic information, but also as the primary catalytic molecule for such basic reactions as self-replication.
